Couldnt help myself, only £18 and imho a nice looking single pot. Sits 30cm high.


Initially its getting a clean up, some paint and tlc, and a stand made and its going on my fireplace. Eventually it will get carb,flywheel and maybe a wooden propeller...

haha, that'll make a awesome fireplace decoration! However my Mrs would hate it. She prefers daft things like pots full of sented pencil shavings and novelty cushions!

I wish my missus would let me do something like that. I once suggested taking a Jag V12 block and making a coffee table out of it with a glass top (totally rejected).

I heard of a pub once whose heating system was run from a Jag straight 6 XK engine in the bar,displayed in a glass case. Can't remember where tho!

Dream on!
