This one's taking the pee somewhat. First time it was on at a BIN and didn't sell, rightly so as Tony noticed the front CCT had been interfered with. It then appeared again as an auction and to all intents and purposes sold for the opening bid of £70. Funny how the same folk are selling it again then on an auction with a £50 starting price. Doesn't smell any fresher with each airing it get's -

Beware.

I would but that engine if I was in that neck of the woods. It's worth more than £50 in parts alone if it was to be broken. Just a couple of gutted cylinder heads on their own would be nice for some porting. :think:

My point was that they are manipulating the auction to ensure they get what they consider reasonable for the engine. It's not a BIN at present and the previous auction ran to conclusion with a supposed winner, yet the same seller as previously, has re-advertised it on another auction. One needs to read the posts doesn't one!

One needs to read the listing :lol:
Resisted due to a timewaster not collecting
Well so they say. They could be manipulating the auction but then who doesn't. All their feedback is good too. They might very well be happy to list it at a lower price and just get rid of it if they have been messed around. Lets see if it sells this time around.

That's the cheapest I have seen an Abba stand with a BIN price. Someone local could make £20 on it just by picking it up!

ask a fellow forum member if they could pick it up for you and post it to you, the firestorm fitting kit is £20ish, you won't find a cheaper one....
