I  believe I just witnessed an original Lucas battery suitable for a TR6 go   
for over $1,100 in an auction on eBay.  I suppose it is dry charged  so it  
may 
last a few years once charged, but WHY? If anyone can  answer that  question 
I 
have an original tar top Lucas, never filled,  suitable for the small  
Triumphs 
ready for  auction.








This auction, and the buyer, have been discussed at length on the 6-pack  
forum.
 
This particular buyer has a history of paying enormous, foolish prices for  
supposedly NOS items - from sellers in or not far from CT - many from sellers  
with ebay ids following a format of (color)TR6.
 
I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but in this case its hard not to  
suspect a shill bidding scheme where a buyer runs up the price in collusion with  
a seller who then sends a "2nd chance" offer to the runner up bidders.
