Looking for one and a half million ish apparently.

[ZOLLAR]

Be cool to turn it into a home on a river

[randomwalk]

We (Australia) wanted to buy it for top dollar back in the early 80s, I think there was a change of mind on the part of the seller, found it kind of handy in the Falklands.

[Galsia]

Shame it doesn't come with engines.

[Steamer]

"add to wish list" "compare" or "add to cart"

I don't know why, but the concept of clicking and buying that online made me titter!

Moor it at Embankment and turn it into a car park.

ROI in about 3 weeks.

I just added it to me cart so thats that.

Add aircraft carrier to cart lol

TJ

Edit: Just to say added a few Harriers to go with it, no point skimping on the accesories

they'll have a job getting anything for it at all. I don't know if anyone remembers that weird stealth battleship thing that was in 'The World is not Enough' (I think). They tried to GIVE that awaa and still couldn't find any takers.

Ive always wanted an aircraft carrier too

As it can't take my 747s, let alone, my Airbus, it's pretty useless imho.

Excellent in theory, getting under a couple of the bridges to your mooring, a bit more tricky!

[KrazyIvan]

How ironic would it be if the Argintines bought it and used it to take back the Falklands?

[The Moose]

You're only adding the tender to cart...although it has been laid out in a rather peculiar manor!

How much is mild steel worth these days as scrap? I would hope that 9,500 tonnes of the stuff would get a halfway decent rate!

It'd take the pikeys a long time to cut it all up though !

[Roberty]

I'll have to give it a miss, no engines no joy!

How much for the Harriers though?

I heard the guy in the US that runs a Sea Harrier FA.2 only paid £1.5mill for it.

Seems a bargain!

I'll take two T.12's and two GR.9A's please although I'd probably have to canabalise the GR.9's to keep the T.12's in the air.

There's some probably unservicable Sea Harriers for sale here:

I doubt there's anything mild about that steel!

[madcyril]

Harriers are ok, but these days it's Apaches FTW!

I thought I'd just turn up!

[GTO Scott]

It'll probably end up on Gadani Beach.

When they say 'no engines' presumably they cut down to the engine room and removed them? Invincible wasn't fitted with the sort of engine you could fit on a hand cart and wheel off the ship. Only other method I can think would be to chop them up in situ and remove in small chunks.
