I was there and tried to buy it but pulled out at £22k the telephone bidder came in at £25 so I let him have it.

Apparently it won’t fit a Spitfire I have subsequently discoverd and it was rather gold in colour!

I’ve now found a Merlin 33 see above, it or looks brand new and is in its box. I’m told it is either new or reconditiond. I’m tempted but any idea what these engines are worth?

Well I’m not going flying just yet but if I bought an engine I’d want to know that it was a model worth having that could be used in a spitfire. Is the Packad Merlin 33 (merlin 23) any good? will the reverse cooling be a problem?

Thanks, v helpful. If anyone knows of one I’d be intersted to hear, I’m not looking for a ready to fly engine but one that could be made that way.
