Spotted this the other day on ebay and thought if it stays low I might have a go at that..

Anyway, eating my dinner tonight and , #OOPS#!, had forgotten about it, logged in 2 minutes to late to see it has gone for a measly $511!

How often does a 56 series five speed come up and especially at the price..

very rare and sought after

Yeah I reckon anything timed in at ending near Christmas will go for cheap.

Then again one went for $250 during Easter last year. It's all about timing I guess, if you have spare dosh when everyone doesn't you'll be in front.

I wonder who got it.

Agree, also the wording of the listing can make a big difference to who see's it, this one wasn't that great and only a 5 day listing.

Looks like whoever got it is a bit of a pro, feedback of over 2500..

Yeah true, it was pretty brief wasn't it.

Goes to show if you want to get the best exposure, details and time are key. The last close ratio box I was after was $2000.00 but that was attached to an A12 short motor.
