Vista Estate Posted September 2, 2023 Report Posted September 2, 2023 Have you lot seen this ltem on fleebay? 145263334297 It's a set of black plastic hub caps with RS stickers on them. It's got original boxes (wow - you can display on your garage shelf). Biding is at £860. Yep you read it right £860 with £12.50 postage. It's got 2 days to go. I'm going to get some stickers for my old black Ford hub caps! What's going on? You can buy an engine for less. Watch those hub caps at shows gang! 1 1
Dave Knight Posted September 2, 2023 Report Posted September 2, 2023 Jesus H Christ! It’s not shopping, the government or consumers that inflation is at an all time high, it’s Escort parts. 😂 On the watch list lol. 1
caprimk1v4 Posted September 2, 2023 Report Posted September 2, 2023 Hi, NOT PLASTIC, they are the original pressed stainless steel caps's as used on MK2 Escort GHIA, but have a black coating on them for the Mexico & others that used Sport's wheels with Black cap's not Chrome finish as used on Ghia's, very-very rare, I have only come across one other full set new of these about 12 years back, I bought them to put on my MK2 Mexico, still on the shelf in there boxes, and I paid £35.00 for the 4 from POWDERHAM Castle show, the guy was asking £40, so I said £35, he said done, so I had them, could sell & make a HUGE profit, BUT my Mexico has the deep dish Sports wheel's so needs the black cap's, so I will fit them one day. You don't see new black stainless steel caps crop up very often, as I say, this is the second lot in the last 12+ years, I would have give £400.00 for the 4, but to me, not worth double, BUT I think they will go up by the end of auction. 1
Vista Estate Posted September 2, 2023 Author Report Posted September 2, 2023 They will go up. But even at £400 that would be steep @caprimk1v4. Need bumps feeling or as they say up north "how much". I think there are better things to spend money on. The anorak factor wouldn't work for me on this and you would sound a right perv if you said to someone would you like to see some hub caps 🤣🤣

Ray Posted September 3, 2023 Report Posted September 3, 2023 clearly by the bidding, theyre worth every penny, good to see Colin @colr6 finally getting that wallet out, which is just as rare a sight as the caps themselves 2
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted September 3, 2023 Moderator Report Posted September 3, 2023 You could always use then as Caviar tubs at elite Ford conventions or something? 1
Vista Estate Posted September 4, 2023 Author Report Posted September 4, 2023 Well the wheel caps went for £860 plus £12.50 postage. Hope they are insured! I'll have to look out for some of these on a car boot ! 1
