Collector's Item

Here's one for the vintage machinery enthusiast:-

Interesting but I cannot see how to get a half million pounds in art work plus some profit out of it. Probably not worth that money in scrap value either.

Do these things actually sell at the prices asked?

Half a power plant for a TSR2 !!

£565,000 and cannot even spell metre !!

Over half a million quid and you only get 300 Nectar points!

To make furniture? There's nothing on it flat enough to balance a cup of coffee!

As a "collector" of turbine engines and having experience of putting reheated ones in a car, I can tell you this is not worth £565,000 as an engine. Generally the bigger the engine the cheaper it it is. If it can't be flown it's just a display piece or someting to put in a vehicle or run as a stationary engine. Generally it is easier to do this with smaller engines. Even the most valued ones like the Allison / RR C250 turboshafts go for 4 or 5 figures not high 6 figures. They have some scrap value but not much.
Not many people have the money, space and interest for big engines.
I once bought the APU from a Vulcan and was offered the Olympus engines for free If I removed them properly. This was becuse their weight was causing balance and structural issues. I declined to tke them. Last engine I bought was a Honeywell APU that was removed from a scrap aeroplane, complete with all accessories and in runable condition. I was the only bidder on it at £200.
