Re:Anyone heard the Brimar cleartop?

I looked on Ebay and see the ones you mean. I have never, ever, seen a Brimar with a side-getter. Although these say Made In England, I very much doubt that is the case. The logos are later style, and this is a common fake.
There are a number of notorious sellers of fakes on Ebay. Due to the nature of the Ebay adventure, it is quite possible that the buyer has no idea what he is selling. Very often people have bought fakes on Ebay unknowingly, don't get any thrills from them, and turn around and sell them with a convincing description. With the number of tube transactions which have taken place on Ebay, there is a growing number of items going through many buy then sell cycles. Fakes have now passed through many hands.
Interesting to know that the most infamous seller of fakes on Ebay has a perfect feedback record of over 1000 positives! A lot of those buyers figured it out later...
