Hello forum users. I'm sending a collection of assorted P6 parts to a fellow enthusiast in a far-flung part of the world, to help him with his restoration project. I really don't know how much to ask for the parts he needs. I would warmly welcome your input so that I can arrive at a fair price. I need to know what to charge for:
The stainless trim for above the front windscreen,
A chrome petrol filler cap (and the short filler neck it attaches to),
4 door lock buttons (the little trumpet-shaped black plastic bits),
2 inner 'A' Post covers,
2 rear inner door handles,
and finally one front windscreen de-mister vent. The big wide moulding between the windscreen and the dashboard cover.
What would you chaps suggest is a reasonable value for each of those items? Please don't hesitate to reply, I look forward to your constructive input. Many thanks in advance.
 
Hi mr task.
The item that would be of most value is the petrol cap!
If it is mint chrome,I would be inclined to ask for £40 + p/p!!
Mint chrome caps are very hard to find these days!!
if however it is of the normal spidery tarnished chrome type,then £10+p/p the lot,as the other items are all 50p autojumble bits really!
The main problem is getting it all safely packaged in one lot for international posting as it contains a long fragile item!!
I would suggest using a stiff tube from a roll of carpet,you may just get the fuel cap in,and bag the little bits up and tape them to the long things!
Hope this helps you with your decision!

Thanks for the input. The windscreen demister vent piece is curved like the windscreen, won't fit in a tube, well OK it would go in a really wide tube but I didn't have one of them. Ended up going in a cut-down bicycle-sized cardboard box with lots of 'air pilows' (or whatever they're called!?) and bubble wrap, 1m40 x 30 x 20, has to get delivered half way round the world, which has ended up costing - wait for it - US$300.- to send! Blimey! That's a lot of money for some old car parts, but if it makes the difference to a restoration project then I suppose it is worth it.
 
I agree with the above input. The parts with value are the filler cap (but only if the chrome is near perfect) and the windscreen vent, which is difficult to come by in decent knick. All the rest are in 50p territory.
