It would be handy for spares for me but you are a bit too far away unfortunately. If you don't mind striping some bits off and I will pay shipping and donate some beer tokens. Although by the time I have decided oh and that bit and this and that it would end up cheaper to ship the whole engine !

Please do. If it's not stupid expensive it will be handy for a spare.

I'll have it - if it's still up for grabs - and assuming you have an engine hoist to plonk it in the back of my swb. I'm in Oxford so bit of a slow plod but do-able.

I am the brother of 'Pillar',

We have a chain hoist we use for lifting engines etc, with a bit of effort I reckon we could lift it up and swing it in the back safely, if this sounds good then I suppose first come first served - dark skies gets first dibs, pm if interested or not
