Some of the questions and answers are priceless!

It was brilliant reading the questions people had put! Haven't laughed so hard in ages! ;-)

Hmm, just read all the Q&A's on the listing. Is this guy for real? It's got spoof written all over it as far as I'm concerned and I'm beginning to think it might just not be a real Porsche engine...

Looks like the guy also does precision electronics...

Apparently ITS MADE OF WOOD!!!!!!

It's made of what, sorry?

That is without question the best ebay auction EVER!!
I don't understand why he can't post a video of it running.


oh... and Jane wants to know if it would make our living room smell of Petrol!

Whats spooky is that someone with the same name as yourself has enquired !!

( I am the guy wanting an example for his man-cave by the way !! )

Have you really made yourself sofas out of '55 Thunderbird seats Gary? Wouldn't surprise me if you had.

Could be a lucrative sideline for you - making furniture out of badly cut ply, fag ends and thick shake straws from the industrial estate's bins. They go for mega-bucks on ebay don't you know...

I bought his first one but it needed new legs after 10,000 cups of coffee.

And being Porsche parts I take it they cost £800 each. Plus fitting. And VAT.

NO , TOWED I HAVEN'T ....I did build a couple of deco 3 piece suites a few years back ,but thats another story !!

If you re-read it I used REAR seats from a 55 Thunderbird.....

Aah, I see the joke now - I hadn't realised the original T bird was a two seater.

Nice looking car and there's enough space for a horse to stand in the engine bay too!

With it being a Porsche table, I wonder if you have to put it behind the sofa?

Just found "stressedoutmikey21's" Facebook page. Here's his Profile picture!

Wow, is that a Panamera or a Cayenne? No, hang on a minute, it's prettier than both of those...

No! IT'S MADE OF WOOD

Yep - it's made of wood - so no V5 then.

Did someone ask if it needs an IVA?

(No - better not...)

I think you meant PVA

This gets my vote as the funniest reply yet.

Only nine hours to go on this gem and it's still looking like good value at only £1,337. Oh, hang on, that's £13.37. Surely there'll be a flurry of last second bids...

Thats my bid , so fingers crossed.......

You can always up your bid Gary - if it turns out to be a shoddy pile of shite I know someone who can put you in touch with a really good corporate lawyer...

I have just asked about an interesting second item he has mentioned, I wonder if he will bite?

Dear stressedoutmikey21,

I have been watching this thread with some interest as I am bored, sad and lonely. I notice you say "Please note,it's not the engine block, from this car, that is still in the car, which i am selling as an unfinished projector"

This really peaked my interest as I am trying to put a home cinema in my garage and using a REAL Porsche as the projector would be great. What is required to complete the car/projector? What input format would it accept? I want to be able to stream film from my 'puter to the projector

I was about to place a bid, as after going through my savings i think i can muster nearly £13.18 and a 1/2 in 1, 2 and 1/2 pence pieces, but i just noticed the delivery cost!

£50!!

I suppose those Porsche engine blocks are heavy beasts?
