I'm sorry Sven however, we never agreed a price. I asked you what price you would sell the items at and you answered. We did not settle a price.
Secondly, you packaging the items, putting it on a pallet etc. was being hasty on your part. You got ahead of yourself and that's only your own fault.
Next, I actually didn't say this on the final email I sent to you as I was being polite, however, another reason for not purchasing is that I cannot be 100% sure that the engine has in fact done the number of miles that you say it has done. The same can be said for the gearbox. I'd rather spend more on the same package, brand new, and know its not done any miles at all.
Lastly, please don't start talking about not being able to afford items when you don't know who you're talking about.
I'm sorry you've been frustrated by my withdrawal from purchasing your items however the frustration is entirely your own making.

I don`t understand why you want to discuss the issue publicly especially after mentioning you were`t the one making me post the above?Secondly, you packaging the items, putting it on a pallet etc. was being hasty on your part. You got ahead of yourself and that's only your own fault.

Which had nothing to do with you or the thing we discussed and not a single name was mentioned anywhere until you came up.
Regarding names, yes you're right however, after being perfectly polite with some to then see them portray a false series of events and know its yourself that's being talked about falsely, it's frustrating.And your comment of 'my initial post says it all' contradicts your last comment.
Now excuse me, I have a masters degree to obtain, au revoir.

This forum has a "no name, no shame" policy which I`ll stick to. You can always PM members if you want to.
I think my initial post says it all but as you asked you weren`t the final straw.
Alex93 - didn't he say it WASN'T you he was talking about?I think my initial post says it all but as you asked you weren`t the final straw.

I'm interested in the Q-reg question... If the engine was registered in another car in the UK, would you then need to get a receipt for an engine rebuild before you could register your car with a new reg number or would the engine have to be brand new? Hope that makes sense?!

I learned that you couldn't use e.g. second hand fuel tanks when registering a car as new, the same probably goes for all or most of the other components. I'm interested in the Q-reg question...

How this is tested though I don't know - I think the Factory issues a document which testifies all parts being new. Which they obviously can't do when using second hand parts.
Don't take my word for it though, I'm not at all familiar with the registration process in the UK.
I took the engine kit out btw, it probably wasn't a good idea to begin with...
To gain a 'New' registration the car has to be built from new parts.
There is an exemption for one major assembly that is not new but you must be able to demonstrate that it has been refurbished to an as new condition.
If this assembly is the engine, then it is an advantage to refurbish an older unit as the emmisions requirement at IVA is based on the age of the engine. If the engine is old enough (like my 6.7L engine) the emmisions could be 'Visual smoke' only.

So you can choose one component that is not new and still gain a "New" registration? I guess that will in most cases be the gearbox then as the G50s aren`t available as new anymore.

OK then Alex, as this seems to be a huge personal issue for you:It`s all about Alex!
I wrote it all because of you. You were the final straw. You prompted the initial post, I was totally and always referring to you only. Although we never found an agreement and you retreated from the purchase I mounted it all on a pallet for you.
You literally devastated all my dreams of becoming a famous engine salesman but thanks to you I totally understand now that I was wrong all the time.
For the adults: apologies for feeding the troll.
