Interesting! Especially because I'm going to Switserland in August.....

These are all the sellers' items

Hi Willem
So you have shied away...and so has everyone else: zero bids. Perhaps the items will come up again later. Do you think the seller wanted too much (i.e. is it so easy to find Y body parts, that you actually may find them cheaper elsewhere?)
Remo Peter

Hi Remo,

Although I don't really need bodywork, I did try to reach the seller for other small parts, but the Ricardo auction site is as secure as a Swiss bankvault!
After you register Ricardo sends you a usercode by post. Sadly the auction ran out before I got the code.... but now I see that the sellers has other (non-Y) items on offer, I'll contact him tonight.

Are you going to the Swiss "European Event of the year", too?
Willem van der Veer

My first post has the vendor's phone number !
I will indeed attend the Diamond Jubilee of MGCC Switzerland in Zug, but only for the weekend. Those who can go all week will enjoy very scenic rides - don't miss ! (but it's fully booked, only for the weekend events there should be no problem joining)
Remo Peter

Remo,

May I plead shyness for not phoning the seller? My Schwitserdütsch is a bit rusty and I just wanted to know which other parts he has. If I send him a mail he can answer me in his own time.

I'm one of the fortunate one's that "got" a whole week ticket for the Zug event, but only after joining the waiting list in January! Looking forward to meeting you.
