sure, Ebay is rife wiv overpriced shizz, especially LC stuff, but {and there,s always a ,but,} we,d be screwed without it. Hell, bought my 250Lc germany import, and most of my collection off Ebay. Just do not assume Ebay is the best price. Assumption being the mother of all ....ups. . .

Obvious a lot of folk dont know these things are still available new Don't tell norbo but Fowlers want £274 now 😳 I'd understand them getting a premium price if it was new or original/mint as the new ones are a sperceded part and quite glossy but for a shagged corroded one you have to paint anyway what's the bloody point 🙄 Steve

Those screws are a funny one as last pair showed as sold 😳
Finally found a superseded part number for them so I'm going to stick some on my next order and see what turns up

andy748 not only a dodgy restamp, but damaged and repaired badly. I pity anyone wanting to get into LC’s in this age. At least most of us have a garage full of decent spare to keep us going. Jon

An ironic listing surely! A long while ago I started the eBay chancers thread. Very soon afterwards I started an eBay mislistings thread. I think / hope that this comes under that. I’ve bought a couple of things of Dennis Trollope and they were reasonable priced, and I think he even took a small bit off an item he advertised with offers (2x genuine YPVS conrods). I’ll message him about this as I’d hate for him to get bad press for a mistake. Jon

Logic says it should be £45.00 and a mistake listing.

Not ebay but It’s top money that’s for sure, but how good is the rebuild? Recon crank, rebore, pistons, valves, clutch, bearings and gaskets all add up to a pretty packet. Looking at prices even a core engine to rebuild for a YPVS is around £1000 these days. A bit steep at the moment IMO but not too far off in the near future? I’ve said it before, but I have a 31k engine probably better than this, and it’s too good/original to use in one of my hybrids so it’s ironic if it never gets used. I’m even thinking of putting it in one of my LC’s and building a sort of fake prototype model that bridges the gap from LC to YPVS. Jon

post is decent value at least: "Will be sent Via dhl only at £20.00 including insurance"
Id have thought just the insurance on £150k would be more than the 20 quid...
