It will either be big money, because it's brown and therefore unusual, i.e. you can't even get a repro in brown.
or
It will make moderate money, because it's brown and therefore applicable to less cars than black/grey would be.

How exciting!!!

Good call..... My 3.0 Ghia shelf and seats were brown. Some of the 'S' models too, depending on interior colour I suppose :?

Exciting indeed :lol:

Very nice item, but I get the feeling it won't reach the prices we've seen the grey ones sell for.

I'm sure the thought would have crossed a few peoples minds. In my opinion, it would be a shame to irreversibly modify a mint original shelf though.

Brown parcel tray went for £510.
What a relief, I was concerned that it might not make big money.
Phew!

I know that's cheaper than the last genuine one, but still a lot for what is ultimately a bit of fibreboard with some carpet glued on it.

I can not believe that .
I remember having a pick of so many parcel shelfs in the 80s at the breakers I took home 2 or 3 just in case I did something wrong fitting speakers in to a £1000 pound parcel shelf and then going down the tip with some old parts and the parcel shelfs ...

Funny if I had a time machine I would just go back and get spares ..............
