Yes, it's Tom Butterworth. I spoke to him 2-3 years ago, and he wanted £5-6000 for it all. There were quite a few engines originally, but those seem to have gone from the list now. Otherwise, it's pretty much complete. I said that there was, in theory, roughly that much there at top prices...but not for clearance. I said I would offer £1k for the lot, and he said no...and that's where we left it.

£2k is much more like it. Just don't underestimate the cost of storing all that. I pay a fair chunk of money each month for my lock-up (and despite being quite expensive enough for my liking, it's very cheap compared to most of what's available), in which I store three cars and two vaguely car-sized piles of parts. I reckon this little lot would fill that lock-up alone. Bear in mind that if you're going to take it, your storage needs to be secure, larger than you probably imagine...and *dry*. You'll also need special means of storing things like panels to avoid damage.

I already have a smaller scale version of this stash...and it's a bloody nightmare, honestly.

Having said all that, I *could*, in theory, do it. I'll have a think...

cheers
