I have 4 New Old Stock displacers, normal ride, not S. Any idea what they're worth?

Cheers

Mark

Not 100% sure but probably somewhere in the vicinity between worthless and priceless.
Does that help?

You could stick them on eBay with a zillion dollar reserve and see what the highest bid you get is. :D

LOL!!! Too funny.

I picked them up with a bunch of other parts. Figured I could sell or trade them for parts for my 66 Morris Cooper S.

They are impossible to buy, so your best return would be to put them on ebay. Someone doing a full on resto will pay good dollars for them.

They are in British Leyland boxes. There is even a hydrolastic flyer inside one of the boxes. Kind of a cool find. Date on the box is 1988. It's like opening a little time capsule.

Drool again.

It's almost a shame to put them on a car. They should be in a museum. 8)

The newer style replacements can be bought, but I think they're a little different. Minispares in the UK have them, but from memory they are over $500 AUD each!
