    Default Parts hoarders,what's the rarest or most valuable part you own?

    I was just sifting through some of my hoard earlier.and got to thinking that there must be some people on here with some rocking horse shit parts.best I could come up with was brand new mk1 headlamp protectors,never been fitted even with instructions and the box.and I'll never fit them because then they'll be second hand and I'm never selling them either.i think i have issues

    When you own 6 novas and my brother has 2, you need to have lots of new parts hoarded away, at least that's what I tell myself

    Funny how the headlight protectors are now more valuable than the headlights they were designed to protect

    In hindsight it would have been a wise investment to have bought up small but valuable things like headlight protectors, coin trays, irscher rocker covers etc when they were not cool and sold for peanuts. I have a pretty big classic game collection and the same applies there, a game I sold for £80 about 5 years ago and thought I did well on, recently sold for £1000. Its best to try not to think about stuff like that too much!

    I don't stockpile much myself, everything valuable is on the car. I do however have two totally rust free doors which may or may not go on my Nova someday.
