ever noticed that you only see 1.3sr engines for sale??

[mowgli]

Just an observation, but all the 1300 engines that appear for sale seem to be from 1.3sr novas...... how weird is that??? there must be thousands of 1.3l, & gl novas still driving round, cos nobody ever breaks one...

i think they just get scrapped as people think there nothing special

[mowgli]

back in the olden days, when ebay existed in the autotrader odds & sods section, there were only ever sierra cosworth bits, escort rst bits, golf gti bits, etc.... there seemed to be a pattern.. I'm just wondering if it is still happening, you know, asttempting to get more money cos the bit must be special

I understand you, even if he doesn't. lol

It's the way to sell IMO - unless to forums/mates etc.

Damn right there not just any plastic clips they are GSi Turbo plastic clips!

lmao Ben. I just sold a set of 4x108 Wellers on jewBay 3rd time lucky, changed the listing to include the all important 'mk2 Escort rally' in the title, and 3 hours later they're sold to a guy called escortrsboi. lol

Win.

Used to do it all the time, especially on rover 200 items, funnily always were MG ZR Bonnets but with a 1400 8v engine in the similar items lol

Lmfao I always chuckle at that.

It seems that any aftermarket part for a car on ebay is "Race/rally autograss motorsport" lol
