Interesting item and history, shame so much has been removed. Postage may be a bit steep mind :wink:

I think the seller is having a laugh or testing the water for the value of things.
They apparently had a pair of dark grey sun-visors "mint" "never been on a car" "second to none in the world for condition being so perfect" blah blah blah.
I was up at 3:15am bidding on them in the middle of last week. I reached $200 and still hadn't reached their reserve! They didn't sell and they have never relisted them since.
You can buy these from Texas or Ed for cheaper than that! (They were charging around another £35 for shipping on top of the sale price.
Smells whiffy to me.

Indeed, I did buy a set of gauges from him a year or two ago to replace my non standard metric ones. Just seems he has lots and lots of NOS items he put away for retirement funding!

Yes, this is Ed B's account, but his wife is called Millie. While I don't know it for a fact, I am fairly sure everything he lists actually exists and has been stashed away from his DeLorean One days.
I bought a set of DeLorean World mags from him a few years back, no problems.
However, he does believe in keeping the prices high based on them being NOS and "rare". He is aiming for the small concours market, I think.

Its just a collection NOS parts, not worth paying any premium for its "History". IMO. :|
