:o P45 has a point. Surely the famously jug-eared, tree hugging royal nutjob will have Rich sent to the gallows for treason. :mrgreen:

I suspect French authorities would be a little annoyed if the Brits tried to arrest Rich. So, perhaps a car accident may be arranged...

Anyway, I seem to think eBay won't allow the sale of pets ;)

I think the problem you will have is that it appears to be an "after market" ornament. You will never know what car it was fitted to if at all as it could have been fitted to anything by its owner. However it is quite attractive and there are collectors of them so you should have no difficulty selling it if you so chose even not knowing exactly what it is.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Mind how you try to sell it if you're not sure of it's origin. You don't want to get caught in a Police 'sting' operation.
