I sent a message to the guy trying to rip people off charging £30 for £12 S series indicators telling him how much they actually cost!!! He sent a rather snotty e-mail back saying they are £45 if you buy them through TVR,

So thought I would p155 him off by placing an ad of my very own, see

Identical but cheaper

First class Mike!
Hate to see other Tiv owners getting ripped off, or paying over the odds, although they really should hear about PH and all the quality advice that is on offer here.

I bought mine from Autofast, £6.00 each + VAT & P&P.

Very nice helpful man on the phone, asked if I drove the famous Sherpa convertible!

I've put a pair up on Ebay too, not wanting to take the p*** too much...

Hope he doesn't mind you using his photo. I'm no expert, I'm sure somebody will put me right, but there may be a copyright thing on the photo. Just thought I'd mention it.

Nice one Mike, noticed you've had 82 hits already!

Did you steal his photo too?
Now that would be priceless unlike his indicators!

Why pay only £6 each when you can be mug enough to buy these at just £55 the pair
Maybe you could include a link to AutoFast's website too, just to drive the point home.

Of course, you've ruined Mike's get-rich-quick scheme now!

Yes, mine too.

Unfortunately other tin top idiots use the car behind as a bumper!

Thanks again guys - just ordered one: £10.57 including VAT, p&p.

You have to send a cheque in advance as they've been let down before, and don't do credit cards.

Anyone else need one, call Autofast on 01254 692772.

Asked friendly guy on phone for Sherpa indicator... "You mean TVR?" "That's right, Sherpa convertible" Looks like we are the only people that buy 'em - no more Sherpas left!

If anyone doesn't like the "cheque in advance" bit or dealing with corrupt ebayers , pop into your local Daf dealer. They do them for the same price as Autofast too, usually takes a couple of days if they're not in stock.
