Title: Weird Headlights on E-bay
Post by: isofast on March 20, 2004, 19:09:30: Has anyone fitted Sedan headlights to a 113? This guy is selling a 64 113 that looks to be frankensteined with sedan headlight fixtures? Looks kind of ummm weird. Ebay #2468161999 Please let me know if anyone has tried this just curious. It looks kind of wierd to see four lamps in front.

Post by: Bob G ✝︎ on March 22, 2004, 19:36:10: The headlights are for a 108 or 109 chassie possible 111 chassie. I emailed the owner to let him now and no they will not fit our cars.

Post by: Ben on March 25, 2004, 11:27:22: Thats a shame about that red one !

It looks like it was a nice car !

anyone care to comment on the $3500 odd paid for it on eBay? Do you reckon it's could value. Could someone restore it ?
