    Hi Fchatters.
    I need some help from you. I've seen a vintage Fiamm Series 2000 air horn on eBay -is a new one, still boxed-, but the seller doesn't ship it outside the US. Someone in the US could bid on for me, and after send it to Spain -I will Paypal you before shipping, of course-? The Series 2000 is a perfect fit for my 1983 US 308 QV. My air horn compressor has some of the inner vanes broken, and one missed, so the horn doesn't work.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Fiamm's whole product line is available over here......

    Go ahead and bid on it and when you win, have him ship to me here in Houston Texas and I'd be glad to forward it to you..he most likely doesn't want the Customs hassles....if you buy it I can just mail it as a "gift"......:D :D :D.

    You can buy a whole two note system here now for about $30USD....

    Thanks BigTex!

    I will need your full address. PM me or email me.

    Yes, I know that there are new Fiamm models very cheap, but not a Series 2000, the original one that was fitted on our cars -some cars have also the Series 3000, an earlier model-. If I won the auction I will let you know.

    Many thanks

    There are actual organisations within the USA that will handle this problem for you , , in particular bidding and overseas shipping on e-bay.

    I have not used this one but it looks very good ........

    ....... I hope this is of use to you or anyone else having troubles with sellers who are not willing to ship overseas. All feedback on the link I have provided would be appreciated.

    Hi BigTex.
    I've won the Fiamm auction. I need you address to communicate it to the eBay seller.
    I've tried to send to you a private message but the system tolds me that your folder is full.

    You need to calculate the shipping cost to Spain as a "gift" as you told me ;-). I think that it wouldn't be expensive. Just in case, if is too high, maybe we can follow the Mark "Plan B": send the item to the US base in Germany, and after he will send it to me. But I think that your shipping cost it would be fair enough. Please let me know the cost to Paypal you.
    Many thanks, and if you need something from Barcelona, please let me know.
    Don't forget to clean your PM Box. I've to send to you my address.

    Best regards

    Thanks Paul.
    I've entered the site and for a single transaction, to send from US to Spain a packet that weights 0,5 kg they charge you more than US 50 dollars... It seems interesting but a little bit expensive. Let's see.

    Cheers
