There was a buy now for Â£80 !!!!! A bargain, but someone bid so that was lost. Amazed whoever it was didn't simply click buy now :o

I bet they go for more than the 80 they were asking ;D

They are getting tougher and tougher to find.

To be honest, that is what they are worth. Have you seen the price of some of the sealed beam units for 'modern' cars?

Friend recently spent Â£200 on a used headlight for a BMW :o

There might be a few more sets coming out of the woodwork though, I got a letter in practical classics this month highlighting how hard they have become to find, assume this set appearing could be to do with that. The more that appear, the cheaper they should get.
I think Â£30 is the least I would expect to pay for a new unit for any car.
