Hi all,

I picked up a cooper s r/h tank yesterday at Bingley, I think it may be a Downtown one, as the person who I bought it off stated, if it is does anyone know what it will be worth.

I can upload some pics tonight, when I get back home from work.

Cheers

Bobby

I think the best way to check this is to go on mk1performance conversion site, and if there are no info there, check on the forum:)

My guess is that it's worth what you paid for it, or maybe a little less. I'm sure you paid twice what the trader paid!

I think such a tank is worth more at a show or similar than downtown.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

Are you for real? You buy something from a trader at a show and then hope to sell it on to make a few quid? Dream on.

There was a standard tank there with 'Race tank' on the label.

All it was was a standard tank with a crudely welded on return half way up!

I picked this up at bigley, but not in any of the traders stands, as some one bought it down for me and I paid for it outside

just enjoy it, it could be a giant filled condom in the boot with a nozzle on it as no one will see it from the outside

pleasing ones ego and also as you asked on the other forum the guy who you bought it off is posting there so either your happy with your purchase or your not.
