Rolls Royce Merlin
So what can i say? Just over a year ago i posted this Link to post, so here is a Merlin for sale. Below is taken from the advert for it.
Genuine 1942 Rolls Royce Merlin V12 Supermarine Aero Engine. Fully re built in 2012 by professional aero-engineers and fitted on a custom made road trailer enabling it to run. Fitted with oil and fuel tanks and water cooling system, instrument panels and controls. It has cropped 3 blade propeller and will comfortably run for 10 minutes. This is the real deal:- 27 litres, 1200bhp, 120 gal per hour monster believed fitted to a Lancaster bomber. You will not fail to be impressed, it is like new. Come and see it running in Cheshire. £35,000. I imagine the rebuild would have been an expensive job to have done on one of these baby's.

Pocket change, surely?
 Is it the 120 gallons an hour thats putting you off? To be fair it is very rare now and it's running and recently serviced. You think the 8 is expensive for parts.
