Well all of us pensioners who live in the sticks are finding the cost of heating oil a bit heavy going.
Amazing what sells on Ebay.

"No Bids Received." And from what I hear Ralph needs the money.

Charlie, Didn't Ralph own a company making body panels for cars etc,
- thewitch - 18-01-2006
Yes, he did, but I don't know if it still exists. Heven't come across Ralph for a long time. Don't think he or his wife keep so well.

Thanks Helen, sorry to hear that Ralph and his wife aren't too well. Be nice to see the trophies bought by a museum so fans can veiw them.

There is a string on iomtt.com about this as well.
John (Mago) Magans, is in contact with Ralph and there is a possibility of a fund being set up with interest from America as well.
Hopefully it will enable Ralph to raise some money and keep his life time of acheivements intact.
Edit:
I have since heard from Mago that Ralph wants to deal with this in his own way, so........nothing we can do........IS THERE ?

They have been on e.bay before including the cabinets. I beleive the reserve then was 50k but they did not attract any bids.
From recent prices achieved for similar at auction I believe Bonhams to be a better bet
