If I was single.....

No chance I could get this past the wife

Shame it`s so far away, would have one of those as a coffee table in work!

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Looks like the Topgear one

 

[wobbly]

Looks ok, any guesses what it will sell for.

 

[bigbobs cl]

Normally i`d say £250 but the way things are i`ll have £1 on £175.00

 

[whizzkid11]

Very tempted.... but its a wee bit small for us.

Still I will certianly be watching it...

 

[Defiant]

Nice, but I'd love to have the reciprocating bits working off an electric motor.

And to think I wonder why they call me a gearhead. I can watch that old Deutz animation for quite long periods. I'd love to instruct an engine class using it.

[maddog]

makes a change from using them as a door stop or boat anchor

 

[Ted]

You could tell them it's a Buick V8

 

[Adam230K]

Absolutely... beautiful.

I might have a bid on that

Have to do the same as I did with my last 'purchase'...just buy it then tell her

That's the way to go with most purchases!

I have an M117 in the garage that is receiving the same treatment, along with another 3.5Rover V8.

Dave!

Wonder if you could put wine bottles in the cylinders? Non-spill and you'd never have to get up again, Hic!

he's updated the auction to say they fit :bannana:

 

[A210AMG]

Chap says you can use the extra cylinders to hold wine bottles......


Maybe I could get it past the wife as a wine holder

You could try, but you might end up piston broke.

Hmm ... I think it looks a reall mess! And who would make a glass top with sharp corners, rather than rounding them off?

The Top Gear one (from an old Porsche 928 block) was much better!

 

[andy_k]

I agree with Bill, I think the pistons bolted to the end of the block look a bit daft
