Ask for a phone number and give him a call. A phone call is cheaper than the parts that you are looking for. Tom

Tell him you have a friend vacationing in the UK (or maybe you have someone living there) and would like to have him stop by and look at the part and pay for it. Tell him you need his address. Has he sent you and pictures yet? Tell him to photograph it with a one pound coin next to it. Charlie Stephens

Tell him you don't want the carburetor part painted you will spray bomb it yourself and post it for sale on the hobbyist classified section that states no business ads.

Ken: I have tried a couple of times to source a right-hand engine splash pan for my 38 using our classified parts wanted site. I have had some interesting responses that turned out to be bogus. Many of these folk are from near-east nations, and haven't a clue as to what you are seeking. Be careful! Here in the US, PayPal is a trusted vehicle to transmit funds. If your respondent will not "do" PayPal, that is a first warning. I'm sure there are valid UK Ford folk who we don't want to exclude. The problem is with the scammers who will respond to you that they have the part, and all you have to do is send them money (preferably by mail order) Just be careful, as these scammers infest our parts wanted site.

A quick check in the V-8 roster for this guy's name as a UK club member will be the first step in seeing he is a "scammer". Most of the UK guys are buying parts from us rather than selling parts to us.
