Today at Cheddar I was 4 feet away from a chap at a table just as the seller removed a large box from his boot and took out a large complete scratch built steam engine and boiler unit in nice order only for a hand to grab it and say “how much’; seller said £70…… I went away to find a quiet corner to cry in….. That is the fun, (or not so) of car boot sales. cheers, Martin
