V8 Esprit Engine Blocks - Brand New!!

[TheKevlarKid]

Guys, my couriers aren't competitive on small packages at all (stuff goes out of here by the tonne and on large pallets usually...). They have 17 postal zones for small stuff all with different rates and nothing is under £30+vat.

Bib's has pointed me to a website - parcels2go.com

They seem to have a whole range of prices and couriers to choose from which is way cheaper than I can organise. 

With so many of you wanting one, if I were to box them up ready to go, could I ask everyone sort their own collection out? It will be much cheaper for everyone, you get to choose your prefered courier and you'll all be able to track the parcel without having to chase me for the details.

Dimensions of the package as follows:

width 45cm x length 60cm x height 50cm

Weight = 29kg

Like I say, I'll throw in a crank shaft for free if you want one (it will fit inside the same box) but it's going to add an additional 25kg to the weight = 54kg total.

If everyone who would like one could pm me their preferred delivery address I can get labels done and I'll give you my payments details and the collection address.

 

Thanks 

Gav

hey gav no problem sorting postage, we'll need your post code too so we can price collection / delivery

Pm me your address and I'll send all my details back.

Cheers

Sorry, if you could all let me know if you want a crank or not when you pm so I know to put it in the box or not.

UPS Next Day inc crank is around £30 inc VAT via p2g. Bargain!

I'd love one, but probably not practical to shipping to US!

Back here at Christmas, see who has created the best thing from the blocks!

[swindon_alan]

I can't decide if I should do a table/wine bottle rack sideways or as mounted in the car. I'm also thinking it would be great as a rather OTT strawberry planter.

Hi guys, sorry I should have posted up yesterday but in the mad dash rush out the door (as it is every year) I forgot to tell everyone I'm now away for a few days and won't be back in the office til next wednesday.

Bib's, Steve162, M6rk, I've had word back today that yours have been collected by UPS. There are 3 more sitting with address labels, Trevsked, frickin and t'other steve, yours are boxed up and ready to go with labels but I haven't had any confirmation you've booked the carriage yet. Have you book it yet? If not and everyone else who has siad they would like one can we leave it til next weds please and I'll make it my priorty on my return for everyone to get them out to you.

The tools and fixtures, and some castings, were all still at lotus when I left 3 years ago, the only thing missing was the will to actually do them. 

Unfortunately, Lotus have since scrapped off all of the tooling, jigs and fixtures for both the heads and blocks, so no longer have the capacity to process any of the bare castings.  It's a real shame !

[Barrykearley]

It can't be impossible to recreate the tooling though surely 

[Bibs]

Very expensive though... 

[Trevsked]

Where are you as thought I'd close enough I'd collect.

Got mine today, only issue was the box broke up and I had to collect from the local UPS depot, not an issue as I was driving past anyway. Cheers Gav!
