You just made my point, restoration isn't cheap!
I see your point but I was referring to overseas shipping,import duty and here they also slap V.A.T.(Value added tax)on at 20% of the value of the goods.
I bought a Flexlite fan for my engine and by the time it was here i'd paid more than double the cost of the part just to get it over......
So in my eye it pays to shop around to get the best deal.
