Now the good news..
Cardboard still on the lighting stud - rare.
Has the little rubber casing grommet. Which looks different so I took it out and it is the same, (slight dome), just in upside down, so I have put it back as it was.
The casing itself is in very nice condition, original factory gloss black meaning a very early model, as later ones are matt black. Some scratches but not a overspray bodge job as per the usual crap we see on fleabay. One spot of white paint on the edge.
All the fixing screws are still brass coloured.
The sealing dash O ring is original and still flexible & tight.
The needle when the counter is oscillated by hand bounces up and down returning to 0 every time. A good sign.
Terminals + - are clean & has the red cap in place.
Starting to get rare these now even in the warehouse here.
Comes with a genuine Smiths support bracket of the correct diameter.
The number plate almost says Edward.
The parts are in storage in France, dispatch in 2 wks as we are on holiday. STILL!
Any questions just ask and we can work out all the details e.g. Postage and so forth. The postage marked is an estimate only for the EU because eBay listings demands a quote before listing, but I will work with the winning bidder for the cheapest & most secure way of sending them out so don't pay attention to the estimated prices quoted please. Obviously Japan, Australia, the US, etc. are more expensive than the UK.
Note eBay has changed the postage listing format, our estimates are usually very close, but remember you only pay the postage marked on the parcel. Wait for final quote depending on your specific location and shipping needs.
I PREFER BANK TRANSFER. But if you are a Paypal kind of person no problem either.
Repeat: We wrap very carefully and send promptly.
International bidders welcome!
Vroooom!
