hi all
i asked you for some advice last week about the carbs i put on ebay, you told me not to stop auction. i am glad i took your advice, they have gone to a guy in sweden for a kings ransom. allegedly off a 1950s racing alfa. thanks again.

Go on, how much?

Wow, you could build 4 locosts with that. And still have enough over for a night out!

Nice one, just make sure they are tracked all the way during shipping....

Old Webers must be quite sought after. I noticed a couple of days ago that a pair of 42 DCOEs with a load of missing bits sold for £260 on ebay. Not quite as good a haul as the OPs though!

Holy moly! Amazing what people will pay for the right period parts.

jesus! not often i've got the right idea on things!

what kind of offers were people giving you when they were asking to stop the auction?

hi
i was being offered around 500euros.
most of the bidders were non uk.

Sometimes ebay can still give you a pleasent surpise! I sold an old set of direct to head throttle bodies before which as they were badged Rover and not complete I didn't expect much till they sold for over £700. I think they actually came of a Lotus engine so may have again been needed for an authentic build or something. They also went to Europe.

If they were Exige throttle bodies then you made a killing as they aren't particularly great according to Dave Walker.
