sparky370z Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 but as a bloody great big "model" it would be a bit pointless. would be awesome if you could get it to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 To be honest the driver (sorry pilot) seat looks a bit worn!! Spoilers pretty good, although not a great deal of tread on the tyres, in addition I couldn't see any road tax. I'm sure you can knock him down a few grand, especially as it's decomissioned!! Are there any age restrictions with this sort of vehicle for insurance purposes, say like minimum 25 etc? Damn - just thought, I haven't got a pilot's license - oh well forget it. (It would need to go on a diet anyway - far too heavy for my liking!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff-r Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I heard on the radio this morning the reason this was 're-listed due to a non-serious bidder' was because a 7 year old kid pressed the 'Buy it now' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
