A set sold before for £240; Never fitted. I paid £70 for mine . Thats why they're wrapped up in a cupboard ready for next years show season again

Its funny cos about 3 years ago, these were worth £40 a set and the clears £100 a set (minted of course) now the clears are worth the same and the smokes have rocketed.

But just for his information, the gaskets are foam and only ever seal once properly. But they're only a few quid new anyways. you can still get them from Ford.

Just been out to it mate. i cant get it to turn over. Its been there for about 14 months though in the shed so cant really complain too much. Short of getting a breaker bar on it i dunno what else to do with it. i dont reckon it'd run right anyways after that.

Sorry mate.

If a set went for £240 recently as said above, then he aint that far out. And it does say 'make an offer'.
