If that chap has 2 shels i think these were the one left behind after 06 clearing sitting on the top of a containers, one of the shels has been affected by water as a friend on mine went a few years back to look at buying one but felt it was past it, the shels were never covered up or gell coated.
I would be good to make proper molds from them.

Yes it certainly looks like one of the shell from the factory, they've been outside for the thick end of twenty years so I'd think they're probably not much use.

Quote me if im wrong but dont you need a reverse mould?..I suppose you could take it from what is on offer but id rather clean it up..Paint it and stick it over my 280 chassis..Might put a bid in for a £5..

[V8 GRF]

What's being offered is a shell that's not been trimmed off when it's been taken from the mould.

This is a mould, totally different and much much bigger.

This is a Chimaera one I think.

Yes I think you're right there... I din't look at that closely.

Well if someone on here wants it then only hope silly people don't start upping the bid or it could get into stupid money. Maybe think collectively!

Why would anyone want it apart from using it as a display? I should think it's usless as repair panels.

I think it looks in good NIK
New wheels, steering wheel then you could FLINTSTONE it away!!!!
Oh maybe a seat too....

What's the primary reason for not using it for a new body?

I would have thought sitting on top of a container, unapainted and exposed to wind, rain, frost snow etc for god knows how many years it would be useless as it would have delaminated and cracked I'd also have thought that the effects of UV on the resin would have taken their toll as well.

I might be talking rubbish but I'd have thought there'd be better alternatives.

The body shells were both still on top of the containers last weekend behind the factory.

Ah right I haven't been for a few weeks so I thought they might have been taken down, especially as they're for sale local to B'pool.

If the ones out the back of the factory are still there then I have been talking out of my backside about their condition and have no idea where the ones on ebay been stored so they may be OK but I'm pretty sure they're raw bodyshells and not moulds.

I emailed the seller yesterday to see if he had any pictures of the mould as (already mentioned) the pic in the ad is of a shell. I also asked if it had been outside for any length of time.

No response as of yet
