Anyone fancy a punt?

What happens if you put this in a Dragster and ignore the "Static display only" licensing?

Look at the vendors feedback. Sure enough, they are all Concorde items.....

£678,000 is a bit of a step up!

A £678000 pile of ugly scrap, though it could turn a profit if broken completely down and each part mounted on a wooden plinth.

A conventional dragster will beat you off the line, but then one of two things will happen. Either you'll catch up and overtake, or blow up...

Put in a cheeky Best Offer of a tenner. Drunk buying st of Ebay on a Sunday is the best fun you can have.

It's been for sale for years, it's been in my watched items for virtually as long as I can remember.

They randomly added about 150k to the price a couple of years ago.

Good luck, I offered £500 and it was rejected unfortunately. :-)

Not sure on the power output but Thrust had two I think 28000 lb thrust Spey's so to make this quick it would need to be a very small dragster!"

And for the asking price, it would probably take you a lifetime of match races and exhibitions to make that back!

Most dragsters use home made afterburners added to helicopter engines.

I must have been watching it for as long as you, then!

The price increase thing is odd. When I list something on eBay that doesn't sell, I then reduce the price, not increase it. Have I been doing it wrongly all these years?
