Default Headlight protectors.

So I seem to have come across a set of sierra and escort mk3 headlight protectors. These arent official ford ones as far as I'm aware. These are the plastic covers that fit over the headlights. I'll try get pics up asap. Just wondering if they were worth anything or if I should just keep them.

I used to work in a car shop, back in the 80's, we sold them then, they were basically the same as the original Ford ones. Rare a rocking horse shit these days!?

The Ford ones and those in the picture were made by an Australian company called Smoothy. The clip on ones were sold under the Smoothy brand. Back in the day, I bought a set of the clip on ones from Halfords.

So the set I have is for a sierra 87 - 93 according to the box.
I cant sell these on here as I don't have permissions. So they will be going up on ebay.

Here is the listing for anyone interested.
