Dream on if he gets those prices then I should of stripped my Taimar for parts rather than spending ????? restoring her the bonnet I took off was better than what he is selling.
best of luck
Bets taken as to how many times this one gets re listed

Where would you buy a new shell then andrew if you needed one badly after say a rear end shunt??
Price looks OK to me for a body shell!!

Guess it's "worth what it's worth" to somebody, maybe it will sell, maybe it won't? These dismantlers seem to be prepared to hold out for good prices rather than move stuff quickly?

He does come up with some "strange" prices though, why not a round £700, or £140 bonnet?

Buy a complete unrestored car then the value of all the parts which are there will more than justify the cost with a rear end shunt you will need far more than the shell lights window fuel tank etc.
Makes me realise that if I had broken my Taimar then I would have made money just by selling the shell rear screen and bumpers and the rest would have been free but that would have been yet another car lost looks like this was another car that could have been saved,shame.
Yes I suppose your right as I have not looked for one but I thought the shell moulds where still out there with someone and if the car was properly insured then the cost would be justified.

Guess the bonnet has its value in the side indicators head lights and the bonnet strikers if needed however I have a bonnet off the Taimar which anyone is welcome to for a few beer tokens if they pick it up fast before it goes to the tip collection Southend on sea E MAIL me if interested will post a picture later.

No desire to get into the "what's it worth" discussion, was merely a light hearted comment on why the vendors prices end in a few odd pence rather than simple round numbers of pounds
