Double take!
Just seen a rusty pickup cab back panel on eBay, just short of 500 quid! Makes you think how unfair some people are.

Re: Double take!
These panels are fetching £5 scrap, once restored will be worth upwards of.....blah blah Zzzzx
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Re: Double take!
Probably basing the price on the cost of 'new made in Sri Lanka' ones from Charles Ware. You could certainly spend a lot more than that on a new one....
It was only about three years ago when I found one of these lying on the grass verge at the roadside. Presumably it'd fallen off the back of a scrapmans wagon and as it was a bit rusty under the window I left it there.... I was in a saloon rather than a van, but wish I'd rescued it now....
I also missed out on one at a few years ago at a Minor National for about £100 (good nick) and then refused it when it appeared on another stall for £250 just on principle. Needed one at the time too. Hey ho
