That reminds me of the first time I used Ebay...... We were moving 19 years ago, and I'd bought a TC engine from the scrappy a few years previously and gleaned the head and front pulley from it (all it needed was a slightly larger fan belt) to use on my MGB engine. Anyway, back to the story. In my Ebay nativity I started it off at 99p as I wanted it shifting as I didn't want to take it with us. Guy 'won' it for 1.20. he turned up in a battered old car with all the family (Wife and 2 young kids) having driven from the Midlands to south Essex. he got out of the car saying "that was handy, I work at an engine reconditioners and have been looking for one for nearly a year - that will do nicely, can you give us a hand with getting it in the boot? Here's your 1.20, I raided the kids piggy bank"
I'd have at least given 10, having just made that statement, it probably had 5 scrap value! Anyway, off he went on the journey back, and I wondered if the floor of the old car would support the block all the way
