Title: Astray Clip?
Post by: phil on Sunday,October 25, 2015, 02:03:46 PM

Hello all
Another ashtray sold on e-bay for a good sum!
My ash tray is excellent but needs the clip part, does anyone have a picture / sizes of it and any other details so I can make one?
Regards   Phil

I've been saving this ashtray to finance having my Europa painted. How much did the ashtray go for?
Here is 1 photo of the clip. Took more with a rule in pics. If this works for you, send me a note and I'll mail them to you to save board space.

Hello Andy

The clip I need is the shown in the attached photo, it fits onto the front of the chrome part,  apparently a rare item!

The ashtray went for £107.00!!

Regards   Phil

A nice sum indeed!
Alas, I don't have that part.
Don't guess I'll rely on the ashtray to finance that paint job after all.

I posted this in a another thread - I thought it went quite cheaply. Why? Well because a couple of years ago one with really nice metal but small crack in bakelite made... £215!
