Hi Steve, glad you received it.  :)

That must have been a few years ago Deano, or the guy didnt know what he had when he sold it to you. A normal dealer frame these days is probably £25/$50. I understood that empi usa frames were about $4 brand new in 1970, they are more than $500 today. I would probably say the frame is an extravagance but not as much as dropping $10000 on some BRMS.

Oh well, I know I didnt misrepresent anything, that frame was a beauty!

Si.

Sadly after many years on the back of my '67, that frame rattled itself to death - it was mounted on one of the mounts which goes between the licence plate light and decklid and it ended up in about five pieces.
I wasn't happy!

Well if you insist on having about 200 horsepower in the back of your bug, these things will happen  ;D
