Kingsborne Ignition Wire Group buy - NOW CLOSED

Postby tigerdog » Fri 12.03.2010, 23:24

I recently bought a set of 8mm Kingsborne wires (same as I hand-carried to Hethel for the 60th.) Kingsborne gave me the old group buy price on the promise that I'd gauge interest for another group buy, so here I go. To make this happen, we need either A) someone to buy me a round-trip ticket to Merry Olde or B) someone in the UK to coordinate distribution of the wires. We also need a list of interested parties long enough to make it worthwhile, as shipping will be approx. $40-50 so long as I can cram them into a box 31x31x14cm and massing < 9.1 Kg.

That said, Kingsborne are still honoring the group buy price of $22.50 for a set of 8mm wires in red, blue, yellow or black. Let the games begin!

Thanks, maz_r, Nicowallker1 and ashm! Now we're talking! I'll keep this open for another week or so then arrage the buy, if that's all right. Ashm, since I'm in Californi and so are the wires, it's a bit of a trudge to pick things up. I could arrange to ship to you and let you carry them through customs. OTOH, you'll find a duffle filled with 20 sets of wires is surprisingly heavy and will put a nice dent in your shoulder before you get where you're going. I think shipping to a central location in the UK and arranging distribution in-country will be easiest.

I think you're probably right! I'm happy to be the UK address, although it probably doesn't matter who it is, the leads will either be posted out or travel through the network of regional meets...

In order for this to be cost-effective, it's best if maz_r, Nicowalker1, ashm and Briggs cast lots, play rock/paper/scissors or otherwise decide who gets to be the recipient of the package.

Woops, I'll need to order these on my own since I'm in the U.S. I've taken my name off the list.

You can send them to my office... there's someone there to sign for things all day, and I often get car/workshop bits sent there.

Thanks, Adam! This will make things easy. Now, spread the word and let's get lots of plug wires headed across the pond. I personally relish the very concept of English cars wearing plug wire sets made by an English family... in Southern California!
