I remember buying my escos blue one brand new from ford £166 at the end of the day ebay is an auction site, what seems like a lot of money to some may not be to others

4x4 saph cossie gear stick surround, a bit of plastic that was £7 when it was available from ford went for £120 the other day on the bay

if you can't get new bits no more because they are obsolete, what can you do??

If you just paid 50k for the moonstone 500 or 35k for the 3dr that just sold, and the cam covers a bit marked or the alloy has dulled, then £600 is buttons to get the car spot on.

The market dictates Im afraid, not the seller on ebay auctions, and they have decided its actual true value.

Even brand new crated RS500 engines dont have the correct cam cover fitted so it was a rare item for someone to find.

Would I pay that, hell no I would get Tremona to refurb my own one to exactly the same condition for a lot less, but Im tight.

I was watching that gear stick surround too. A lot of money for a bit of plastic.
