Noel Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Rare as hens teeth. Yes noticed those three models going as a set before, and may be of interested to NIR connoisseurs, but NIR not really my cup of tea being absent from my nostalgia memory. Continental and Foreign models despite the close proximity to the CIE sphere don't really light my candle. But I'm sure they will find a good home with a NIR modeller/collector despite the price. Probably never to be rerun again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRENNEIRE Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 So these work out at around €375 a pop AND he is looking for around €60 postage So landed on your doorstep for nearly €400 each, not in my lifetime baby As a wise man said to me once, "I don't mind you shi**ing on me, but don't rub it in" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact "seller" is the wrong word "would-be-extortionist" seems more fitting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 There's always one gobshite out there that's just waiting to have the piss taken out of them. And the seller's are well aware of it. Somebody is going to get taken to the cleaners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pay that kind of daft money even if they were black'n'tan livery 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
