I know this was done quite a while back, but, another of those RV8 coffee tables is for auction on ebay if anyone is interested.

Definitely worth getting! A V12 would be better though, as you could store 4 more wine bottles in it!

There's a pub round here that has (or at least had) a Jag V12 in the fireplace, every now and again he used to start it for the locals! Used the chimney as an exhaust I'm told.

Well, I bid £50, which is all I can really stretch to. Wasn't in the lead even for a second

Mine would have to be highly polished, I'm afraid.

God knows how many days it would take.

I've got one spare in the garage. Judging by the poor price that the last one sold for on Ebay, it may be worth more as a coffee table!
