Shiney new rarities.....

I have sat before me, some 75 parts made from the purest unobtanium.

Brand new:
Alfa control panel
Driver's door handle

I'm thinking of framing them, despite actually wanting to put them on
the car ;-)

They will be worth more if you do frame them

I paid very little for them.

35 quid for the Alfa Control panel - list price was £240+VAT.

Handle was under a tenner, list price £35+VAT.

Very convenient that I found 'em, 'cos I need a new driver's door handle
- and my Alfa Control panel has never been 100% functional.

I think that in view of the price paid that I would be inclined to
use the parts then. Certainly you were meant to find them. At that
price it is a gift from your gods.

I pretty much thought that was how they came out the factory!
