Expensive nuts

[les]

Looking at Minors bits on ebay, for some reason went to this Bentley listing, you can bid but you only get a pair of nuts £99.99.Plus postage. I felt like asking the thread size before bidding, doubt they’d know. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BENTLEY-MULS ... 0005.m1851

I think that you will find that the £99.99 is the lead in for other parts of the Bentley.

Well I guessed the trick but it says you are bidding on a pair of nuts, so I bet if you just bid, that’s what you’d get.

You see it quite a lot on eBay, sellers making sure you don't think you get a whole wrecked car for £99 - still, not bad all things considered, usually it's only a single nut they give you

If you think those nuts are expensive...….how about this currently on offer?:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Morris-Minor ... SweR1eYPJX

I bought a virtually mint 'caution plate' last October for £2.99 plus £2.90 p&p and sold then the one that was already on my car for £5.02 which was about the same condition as this one!

By the way, I do agree that these wheel nuts for sale are just to invite enquiries for more valuable parts. You often see Moggy wheel nuts for sale at 99p on a similar basis but I suppose with this one being a Bentley, they've just upped the ante. I know I shouldn't think this but it is kind of reassuring that even something as prestigious (and expensive) as a Bentley can catch fire too .

my daughter still costs me a fortune even though she has left home now.

that's expensive 'nuts' for you.

a pair of nuts describes it concisley, re john,
