you could buy 7 Omegas (one for each day of the week) with full tanks full of petrol for that much......
 and still have change to buy another 18 Omegas as spares cars......
 and a bag of chips on the way home  :P

That's just a couple of miles away from me. It's been a while since I've been there for an auction but I've seen some cracking cars go through eg years ago I saw a Jensen Interceptor go through ... but I've also seen some dogs go through too. They've even pushed one through .... its engine ran but wouldn't select gears.

Mostly what it would be used for.
 Agreed it is probably a bit of a dog, but I like the model.

there was a few months ago at the Brackley meet  :y
But I can't see any of those being sold by the owners any time soon   ;D

appears the OP wants an aircraft carrier/oil tanker  rather than a barge  ???
