V8 Front wings

Post by Sydsmith »

I have front wings for my V8 on my ebay search list with Mk2 Jaguar included. These came up yesterday.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-Mk2-E ... 1438.l2649

They seem to be too good to be true, so I did a bit of research and noted that the vendor had not sold a thing for years though he/she has bought lots, has a female looking sellers name.

So I sent a message last evening asking to view them, 10 seconds later I had a reply and it turns out they are not in Humberside as the sellers registered address suggests, but are in Surrey, but the seller declines to say where in Surrey.

If any one is interested in these I suggest cash on collection only. Syd

They seem to have stuck at £31 which for a pair of these wings is a steal.

As you say Al they don't seem to know a Mk2 from an E type.

Some one is either going to get a bargain or they will be ripped off for the end price.

Good Point Graham, I see what you mean, but the vendor has gone to ground, answered my first two questions within seconds but not responding to my question about location.

He responded to my first question with a buy it now price of £375.

If they are genuine steel and as good as they look, I would gladly pay that for them and travel, but not without seeing them in the metal, so far have not had any luck with an address to view them, except to say they are in Surrey, big place that. Syd

Contacted seller and asked what material were the Wings constructed from,

Here is the reply:-

Next was a request to clarify the last answer. ! :lol:

It’s spelt ‘phonetically’ first two letters (se is seven) free is three etc
So if I’ve got this right.......

It’s 077646 81373. :D :D

I suppose that it’s a way of placing your phone No on e-Bay without infringing their rules :D

So there you have it. ! !

Cheers A’l :D :D

Think I will pass on these, much as I am tempted, the clincher is that I can't see how he can possibly send them to me for £20.

Don't like the feed back trail, does not ring true to this transaction.
