This is a rear carrier from the era when it was used on a Rabbit S301. It's a genuine part, so it has a moderate amount of rust and wear. There are no deformations. This type of rear carrier is a very rare part that rarely appears on this site or certain auction sites. The Rabbit is a scooter from over 50 years ago, so this is a valuable and rare rear carrier. I'm not considering any easy price reductions, so I will ignore any comments with unreasonable price reduction requests. If you don't understand the value of items from that era, or the dirt and wear, please purchase a reproduction. I've just put it up for sale, so the price will remain as is for a while. If it doesn't sell, I'll just display it in the garage and sell it someday. I look forward to hearing from those who understand the above.
