Investement to return, if Bitcoin drops near $5k USD again, buy it.
I think the boat has been missed on trophies. We have already seen the value jump. It won't step up a level further for many many years, probably 20+.
I recently discovered in the parts stash a set of brand new pistons (with rings!), liners and gudgeon pins, and some big ends and mains too and I fancied a bit of engine tinkering so I pulled down the 9 engine. I was amazed how good it was considering, the crank is in fab condition.

No idea, i'd assume the box was toast though after an impact like that, would have smashed the shaft back into the diff. If I could have got it for less than the resale value of the lump I might have give it a shot.
Some stuff on Copart lately is mental, I almost bought a Cat B Ultima Evo the...
Around £800 hammer plus fees and VAT so over a grand and then transport costs. Conversely I saw a Cat B 250 Megane go for £150 the other week,
