Default Genuine full chrome Rover 75 grille **SOLD**

I bought this for my T-registered 75, but priorities have changed, and thus, this is for sale. It was removed from a V-registered car, and is a genuine Rover grille, which means that it actually fits properly, unlike the cheap copies.
It looks great on a car, but it's not perfect, given its age, particularly around the bottom of the grille where the slats meet the surround, and there are marks in the chrome, with the same going for the slats at the back, though the front edges are excellent. A very attractive, and unusual item!
Given the condition, I'm looking for £60, including postage!

How much would you ask for shipping to France?

I'll get a price for you. It's under 2kg, including wrapping, so it shouldn't be too bad. I'd imagine somewhere around £10 more than UK postage, but I'll check, and get back to you.

Another bump on this, and a final reduction to £50 including postage.

Gee Mike, that is cheap!!!
I have seen the Chinese copies go for as little as £40.00 but £24.00 for Full Chrome delivered, let alone £15.00!!! That is the sort of prices normal grilles go for...??? (And even that is cheap)...

I can get a normal front grille with ease for a fiver, but finding a full chrome one, particularly a genuine one is nigh-on impossible. You won't find many at £50 including postage!
