MG Midget and Sprite General - Fibreglass Frogeye bonnet anyone?

It was originally on for £750. This is the reply I sent him after he let me know that it was in fact fibreglass rather than steel (as his original description didn't say).

"Many thanks for taking the time to answer me. However although it's none of my business, I feel that you have pitched the price way too high as the fibreglass Frogeye fronts are currently available new (albeit unpainted and without anscilleries) for £262.50 incl of Vat. The grill is worth another £100 at max and the headlight bowls £30 for the pair.
If it was an original steel bonnet then £1000 wouldn't be unreasonable.
My apologies once again for sticking my nose in where it's probably not wanted. If it had been steel, then I would have bid.

Best regards

Gary"

He didn't reply to that one but did previously say that he'd never realised that they came in steel!
