I've seen a number of parts over the last few months that you wonder why they have been removed as they look too good.

This boot lid looks the same @escortmad79 was your boot lid bubbling on the LHS corner?

Sent the link to the owner of the stolen one, the one on eBay doesn't have holes for the Mexico badge that was fitted

Fair shout though @Ray and @escortmad79. Breaking stolen Classics is on the up as its the only way to move well known cars.

Sadly fleebay have no way of stopping it unless we spot and report the item.

I remember not too long ago there was a speight of scam sellers of classic cars on fleebay.  I used to report everyone.

Extra vigilance needed from all of us to try to disrupt these barstewards.
