Got the manifold !!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180006617307

I (manually) sniped it with 5 seconds remaining . . . now I'm shaking so much I can barely type !!!

There was 2 Guys battling it out - Bidding $5 here and $5 there . . . . Then like a Ba$tard I swooped in and nabbed it !!!

Works out as £237 ish . . . Which was cool as I'd prepared myself to pay £300.

Well done buddy

Will certainly look cool under the hood of the caddy

Just don't tell the guy that you plan on shipping it out of the country, some of them don't like stuff leaving the US, especially if it's rare.

This is his reply - and I did say I was in the U.K.

Quoting: Seller

HI, Congratulations on your purchase. You will be the only one in the U.K. with one of these. U.S. shipping address will be great. Let me know as soon as you get it sorted out. If you have any more questions please contact me. THANKS, JOHN.

I've been lucky with Ebay . . . . Several transactions and no idiots.

He's right not many people will have one of those, might be a couple in historic racers with that caddy lump but not much else

Roadkill · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2006, 09:25:46 am »

All in with Insurance, packing and shipping - £251.

I never bid on anything until the last minute of the auction any more! I have had Ebay contact me 3 different times and tell me not to pay for an item as they caught the sellers having 2-3-4 accounts and bidding up their auctions to get a better price. If you bid at the last minute they don't have as much chance to do it. I'm not saying it's always like that mind, but there are some w**k**s in Ebay like everywhere else.
