Yep could be that Andy might have something to say about that one. It is definately his set-up, don't know if he sold one to someone over there and that guy decided to not install and sell it on e-bay, but yes phishy.

Maybe somebody got a little heavy on their right foot, asuming that the gaspedal is sitting where it is supposed to be sitting, after installing Andy's kit and had an unfourtunate situation that got out of hand.
On the other hand, maybe the wife found out and making him get rid of it.
The kit has been on there for 3 hrs...let's see.
You should get it for Yours. I know I would if it did fit...

That's a duplicate of Andy's add. Someone is either scamming or selling Andy's kits for him in the UK.

You would have to bring up that possibility.

I think it is not fishy. Price looks OK for a start on a Jag/Eaton setup. Used, so he installed and didn't want it. I bet Andy knows the seller. But as always we don't know. Ask

That would be the only new information "used"....How many people would install and use such a kit and not have a photo of it ON THEIR CAR ? Just be carefull .

Mmmmmm. Private auction, no postage rates, no attempt "sell" it to us........ will be a pity if fingers get burnt. If it is legit though......

This is not legit....I'll be in touch with e-bay ASAP. Thanks for the note bfellows! I have never shipped a kit to the UK. UK members please alert local 928 groups. The only people to ever get Jag/Eaton kits were Daryl in Saskatoon, Mike, Pete in Sandiego, Bill Ball, Seth, John D (traded up to Autorotor) and I am getting one together to ship now but it's going to NC.
