Un used car parts - what to do?

Sputnik II · 5 Sep 2006 at 11:25

Over the years I've kind of built up a large amount of car spares, thing is I don't own a car for most of it now. So would you try and sell it cheap or should I just grit my teeth and throw it all in the skip?

Ebay it, loads of demand for parts on ebay!

Just went and had a look, Seems a good amount of shrinkage has taken place since a mate popped round during the week for a couple of bits! I'll be watching his ebay items for sale

Not got that much Vauxhall stuff, New downpipe for a Nova SRI (I think) rear light cluster and some stupid odds 'n' ends.

Did have a pair of Shuv rear lights but, they seem to have run away.

Edit: Most bits are used/modded Imp, some MGB & Spridget.

E-Bay, E-Bay, E-Bay - Ive been VERY suprised at the price some of my 'vintage' bits have gone for, small bits and bobs that I would normally throw have made £30+ each time

Get your ass to the Retro Rides forums, join up and post them in For Sale - there are a load of Imp people on there and a couple of Nova Owners.

Yeah, should have. Don't think I've got any of the early flat ones. just the ones with the bulge over the indicator bulb. (if you know what I mean by that)

I know what you want them for too
