They do have a certain appeal.
This does look well sorted as well.
Before the Russia invasion these were going through Brightwells around the £8k mark. How prices have changed.
The CVRTs were at a ... |

I am a little baffled by the need for so much heating capacity in a small area.

Is there a right way and wrong way for indicators and side lights?

Yes, the back is aluminium.
Remarkably they are not expensive.
I would say a decent running one is about 10k.
I have seen 2 on ebay, at about that in the past 5 years.

I have a Mantec for sale. I don’t believe it was ever fitted, so condition is as new, with the bag it came in.
Is £75, including UK postage, a fair price?

I have one of the following:
SSW500090
It is still in the box, the box has been opened, but the bag inside is sealed.
Let me know if this is the one you want and I can take a couple of photos? |
