    up to £500 already or there is some Shil bidding going on

    "NOISEY DIFFS ARE A BIG PROBLEM ON THESE CARS"

    So how come we don't know about such problems here then?

    Why would bidder 2 outbid himself from £200 to £500 over a 25 minute period?

    Very odd...

    yup, i reckon its too dear as they are one of the strongest parts of the car and have never had one go wrong in 35+ 260's i have sold

    plus its quite marked, scuffed and looks like it has rust on it and its supposed to be new

    i think i would leave it

    I've been watching this as well, there was another diff on for ages at £300+, had a look but don't see it now.

    As a matter of interest I had a look at TVR diffs and they're listed at around £500.

    I know there is a specialist in Blackpool who reconditiones them but are near enough brand new after rebuild funnily (enough does TVR too! ). I can't remember for sure who i was talking to about it, i think it was Nick @ Austin Garages but the company did a bang up job and certainly cheaper then the £500 they want off ebay!

    I'm sure the backplate on my diff looks nothing like the picture

    Do you think he's trying to create a "market price" by producing false sales?

    I see there is a reserve price, wonder what it is? (Answers on a postcard!!)
