Picked up some type 3 rear drum backing plates, a set of new type 3 shoes and a 'Tar Babe' Ebi 2 can at Tatton Park yesterday ;D
Out of curiosity what did the EBI can set you back?

I've had a few good deals at the swap meets over the years, like the time at vw action , back in the eighties when early on saturday morning, just as i was setting up my table of old tut to sell i spotted this guy unloading a van full of goodies, it was rammed with nos everything,Early doors, trim, lights, 25hp stuff etc so i sauntered over, trying to not look excited. He put a handfull of NOS semaphores and heart lights on the table, looked up at me and said, you can have everything for £600. Luckily that was exactly how much was in my pocket, give or take so i said "go on then" slapped the money on the table, bid him farewell and promptly spent the next 2 days selling all the stuff i didn't need. I made £3000 that weekend and had to buy a 65 split van out of the cars for sale area to get the rest home!!
Happy days,
Andy

I prefer your NOS 67 valance purchase Andy.
One of my best was at Dub Daze in '96
Was looking at a stand that had loads of Nos panels my friend saw a 67 valance and asked how much. the guy said £35! he snapped his hand off and bought it. I then took a chance and asked how much for the 67 lid, He said £30, I contemplated kissing a man!
The brand new 145 XZX was another good one for £10 ;D

One of my fovourites was at peppercorn many moons ago, there i was mooching around looking for a bargain when i spotted on a stall a type 3 spare wheel tool kit, which is an uber rare peice of kit, much rarer than ya run of the mill bug version. Unfortunately my arch enemy parts hound was standing over it, bugger i thought, he's already captured it, but then the gods smiled down and off he trotted none the wiser (number one swap meet rule "always look up, always look down") I dashed to the tool kit, which is no mean feat with my knees i can tell you and demanded a price, which was very resonable. I took it home along witha set of nos type 3 overider bumpers and tubes that i also stumbled across and swap the tool box with a contact of mine for 3 empi gt steering wheels,
Fucking bingo!!
andy
And then there was the time i got a set of safaris for £2!
