SOLD Engine bay lid

Selling a VGC lid, bought for my project and no idea what year. No rust whatsoever.


Collection from lincoln/Oxford or can deliver between the two.

£125 ONO

 

Hello, I may be interested in this... I will need to check what's on my van. Hopefully it's the same type! Will get back to you on Thursday Thanks!

 

No worries Joe

 

Looks like an early-ish late, to me, if that's any help?

 

What's the difference between early and late lids?

 

The hinges are different, please don't ask me to state which is for which year. I believe there are adapters available

It appears that 72 - 76 is no longer available.; so difficult to compare with a "new" product. But I'm sure someone on here will know the answer?

 

Yours is an earlier late bay lid (72-76) as it has the two slots in the top to accept the hinge:



The later lid has the pin style hinge which is welded to the lid itself:

 

That looks a good price for a hens teeth lid - I paid £100 for my 73 one 5 years ago to replace a bodged later one

 

I am tempted, if @Joe Hill isn't.

 

I imported this from Germany a few years for £155, so making a loss anyways. It was intended for my 74

 

Thanks for the info everyone. I'm looking for a late style lid, so I won't be going for it. Feel free @F_Pantos !

 

Are you still interested f_pantos?

 

Getting it will be the problem, I didn't realize it was pick up only and I am the wrong end of the country

 

I'm local and could collect and store it til TE

Thank-you for the offer Matt, but my son's 18th coincides with the next TE.

It would need folk to be willing TLB couriers for this to work.

 

I can still collect and store until whenever

Ok, thanks Matt, I'll chat with Dave and see if we can close the deal.

 

Is this sold then?
