The "Wow, it sold!" thread

[cj2013]

Just looking at my ebay watch list (haven't logged in for a while) and stumbled across something.

We've spoken about it before, but can't believe this actually sold... for those confused, it's not one of the presentation items, it has no value as a collectable as it's just a normal knob that's been made (I assume) to look like one of the presentation ones.

I'm pretty sure that's this one:-

Yep, it is.

Like was mentioned when we first saw it for sale, it's an "aftermarket" novelty.

Seller said:

"These are very rare! I believe they were presented to the first purchasers of Ford Pumas at a launch event. I don't know how many were made, but this one is numbered '0208' and you never see them for sale."

Shame that people can get fooled to thinking they are buying something special, when quite clearly they're not.


Can't imagine how uncomfortable they must be without the perspex covering the cutaway

No I agree, I remember the original conversation!
