Ummm looks nice !

Both the wing vents dont fit properly, they are both tipped in at the top . It looks to be because the top forward facing corner in the wing has too large a radius preventing the vent from fitting flush , is this a known issue with replacement wings ?

[Peter Rothery]

I don't think that there is necessarily a problem with replacement wings...more likely this is due to a lack of trial fitting prior to painting or carelessness when reassembling after paint.

The studs used to fit the top of the side grill often do not come with the replacement wings so welding these and alignment need to take place before being painted!. Shaping the wing with filler doesn't help the smooth integration of the grill either. The bottom bracket attaches to the inner wing panel and is often distorted but is easily sorted out.

The hammer was what Peter had said.

It was provisional so a deal must have been done later

John is right. The quoted video is the preview video over-written with some results. The website still lists this lot as "Remains Available" but this will no doubt change soon.

The actual auction video is here with lot 636 at 3:55:00. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yeo_abT9UB4

Looks like the final negotiated price was £25,620 plus commission (8%) and VAT on commission.

yawn - which when you add that lot up comes to £28,080 - come on boys keep up at the back
