Hi All, Just after a bit of advice. My mother in law has found a few old boxed NOS Ford parts whilst tidying up that belonged to her late husband years ago, presumably bought for a Cortina he had in the 70's / 80's. I'm going to ebay them for her as I don't unfortunately have a suitable old Ford to fit them to (how inconvenient!) but wondered on rough values for start prices if anyone can advise? I'll take some pics of them next time I'm round there, but there are two headlights (labelled long reach lamps?), the innards of a tail light, a dash clock and a nice DIY fog light kit with switch, wiring and instructions from 1977 (as old as me but in considerably better condition!). All boxed and as new. The clock actually looks like this one I've found on ebay: cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-TIME-CLOCK-NOS-BOXED-CORTINA-CAPRI-GRANADA-FIESTA-/260771580010?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cb732886a#ht_500wt_922Any ideas on values and start prices? I assume they're all Cortina bits but perhaps someone could confirm if I post up pics? Thanks for any advice Stu

Looks like a fiesta supersport clock! Could be worth a fortune but the 1 on ebay has been on a long time at £40 so perhaps the market is a bit slow!
Post up some pics of the lights you have, you'll probably get some offers on here!

looks the same as the clock in my mk2 escort but i bet there will be a capri owner that will post it looks the same as the clock in their capri ( think they might be all the same ) you need to find out what car the lights are off if they are for a cortina what mark ?? 1,2,3,4 or 5 & if the clocks are all the same as each other add escort mk2 in the ebay add as most parts for them seem to be a license to print money !!!!

Hi All, Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated. I've taken a few pics now of the various bits - see below. 1. Tail light 2. Clock 3. Fog light kit 4. Pair of front lights - these look like they're been fitted as they have what looks to be home made brackets on them and a bit of wiring and a switch that looks DIY to me If anyone could identify which models these bits would suit it'd be very handy indeed Cheers Stu

That tail light could be from a mk3/4 Cortina estate?

I've always believed something is only worth what someone else is prepared to pay ?! Pop them on no reserve auction, and what they make is what they is worth ? People looking will find them

The front spots should be like that, i sold a pair of Mk3 Escort ones a few years ago with bracket and got £50, the other bits not so much.

Holy cr@p! I listed these last week and they all end in about an hour. The amount of questions I've had and watchers have really surprised me, I knew old Ford bits were popular but people all over the world have been asking how much to post them to Uraguay, Malaysia, Portugal and all sorts. The little dash clock alone shot up to £112 yesterday and the spot lights aren't far behind!
