There's another Alfa on there I make have a punt on.

Has anyone dealt with them? If I enquire as to the condition of the engine
are they likely to be honest?

Plus what would it cost to transport a car from Southampton to Lancashire?
If its a lot I would hire a trailer.

PS this is my first ever crosspost, I feel dirty.

Can't comment on them, but what about train down, drive back?

an engine.

S'alright, glad your laptop is working.

Now how about towing a car 400 miles for me?

So what was wrong with all of those groups with "test" in the title?

They're just down the road from me and I've used them quite a few times in
person.  They're very professional and very well organised, but as a result
are a bit more expensive than your 'normal' scrappy.  Obviously that's of no
consequence on one of their auctions though.

So IMHO they'll give you an honest answer.

Dont blame me if the engine's a dud though ;)

With my teeth?

Like Carl they are local to me and I have used them.  Better than the
average breaker and very business like in their dealings.
