250+ wheels spare. All ours are crack tested and ready for use though, not sure how many scrap ones we have.

Just a few! Do you guys buy from auctions like these or direct from teams for the cars you run?

Direct for the most part. Have been a few occasions where some sort of hard to find part has been acquired from e-bay bolted to a bit of wood then liberated and returned to the car

So, these probably aren't use able?

[inabox]

just missed out on lot 290, oh well.

A huge amount of stuff being sold is at life or past it. With no lifing data on a lot of the stuff like wheels etc. they're only any good for coffee tables unless you go to the effort of NDT'ing them.

Think I have just bought 4 alloys, but when clicking on my items, they show, but don't show a price.

Edit, yep, I've bought em, invoice on it's way. Result.

jesus dummy car in reception just went for 70k inc fees and tax

Reception car was pukka. Could be a runner again without too much effort (assuming you scored the gearbox as well). The pit stop car which went next is the best one. Currently a plastic show car with a GRP tub going for £23k.... now that is just stupid!

but jenson buttons rolling chassis (BAR Honda) went for 75k recently. i'd rather had that

just got home to carry on watching and opened a bottle of wine.....not sure that is a great combo

I wanted a trinket to sit on my desk at home or on the wall behind it...

Narrowly missed out on 8 floor pans. Jesus auctions are addictive

Start bidding, chap!

[scottracing]

2600 for the 2015 wind tunnel model, would have cost a lot more than that to make!
seems to be a bit more affordable on the bidding now

[inabox]

Are you interested in any of this lifed stuff poppopbangbang?

[insurance_jon]

just missed out on the model

[poppopbangbang]

Fooked engine cover worth nothing gets £4500. Engine hydraulics with a Parker 05 on the end of it which is 16K euro alone fetches £100.......

We're probably one of the few private places with gear to test and relife hydraulics so to a point. Won some gearbox and engine hydraulics so they'll go into stock incase we need them.

Anyone know why it's not showing the sold prices anymore? Just says NA?

[inabox]

I want those deutsch connectors for my mini restoration :P

so how many did you buy?

If you really want some we have thousands of them new and used. Send me a mail, we aren't meant to use them once they've been booted but if you have a few minutes and a depining tool they're perfectly reusable. Terminals are relatively cheap too purchased loose.

Three gearbox sets and three engine sets. The late spec Moogs on the Gearbox sets are useful for the more recent Toyotas and Williams. Pumps are always useful!
