A friend has just been over here, he went to the viewing on Friday and they were apparently charging £25 a head to go and view the stuff.
£25 for a Catalogue which admits two. The £25 is refunded against any purchase over £25. Basically to stop civilians cluttering up the place trying to take selfies next to a half fooked 2012 tub wink

So we went today...... My word a lot of stuff has gone out the back door since September!

Very little decent usable kit left, some measuring stuff and the odd test rig but very few people need a home brew brake test rig or a hydraulics test rig that's worse than ours (which we pilfered out of Brawn and it was three years old then!).

A lot of brightly coloured bodywork, some plastic pigs (identifed as rolling chassis in the catalogue!) and a st load of hats, clothing and IT equipment. Nearly everything else that was a car part was well out of life and anything else decent went to Russia (and we're not sure if it's returning).

No listas full of wiggins, symetrics or AS connectors frown

Still if anyone does buy a car we have three CA engines in stock, ready to roll..... just make sure you get a complete gearbox as well as what was on the rollers didn't appear to be!

I noticed online there is a 2nd auction on the 23rs of January selling the 2014 season stuff

I saw a couple of small trays of Symetrics in one of the cabinets in the Hyds room and some on the end of hoses/hardlines but that was all. Some guy was eyeing them up saying they sell well on eBay?!

Do you service yours yourselves?

There used to be two listas full of them in hydraulics, they've all "gone" somewhere! IIRC Engine kit used to have a pretty decent selection too, again they've "gone" somewhere. Most disapointing! We have pretty good stocks but there are some which we are running low on (dash 3s mainly).

We service them in house, they're everywhere on our stuff and we don't have the budget to pitch them back for someone else to do wink

I've heard various rumours as to where some stuff may have gone - how true they are I've no idea...

No worries, never hurts to ask wink

Certainly not a patch on the Super Aguri auction that was eventually pulled the day before. What a wasted visit that was.

Now £15,000 for a front wing!. This is insane. I wonder if they will actually pay up.

I'm after a set of wheels, think my budget is shot to bits.

Well I fancied something actually useful like a Lista cabinet or a workbench but I very much doubt it will be in my budget.

I had my eye on a few bits, and I guess I underestimated the value of ex-f1 stuff. It's not going for crazy money, just more than I expected. Especially that gutted-out steering wheel.

Yeah but it was pretty cool. Sadly went over my budget. Add on VAT and 10% buyers premium as well....
