Curiosity got the better of me.  ' Just sent the following in the form of a question to the seller on Ebay:

Hello Rob,

>This is a nice straight grill, although definitely in need of replating.  It is certainly a rare item, but I believe you are sadly misled regarding its value.  I am affiliated with the Z Magnette Group of North America. Our membership of about 115, represents about 170 North American Z Magnette saloons - easily 95-98% of all North American Z Magnettes in existance.  Your Ebay ad has been a topic of discussion on our chat group these past few hours and while we represent just about your whole market, I see no evidence that any of our members would pay $1200 for this grill.  Replated, and in perfect dent-free condition, I believe you would see some interest in the $500-$800 price range.  If the whole car, as shown, were to be for sale in the $1200-$1500 price range, it might sell fairly quickly.

>This is not a criticism.  It's simply an observation.  We love our rare little saloons, but the market for them simply does not justify Bugatti parts prices.

>' Doubt if I get a response, but if I do - I'll share it.

FWIW,
Allen
