Collection needed

Help

Does anyone live near enough to Solihul to collect a small vintage outboard engine for me, and hold onto it for a couple of weeks or so until I could collect it. I'd obviously cover fuel and a beer or two.

It's on ebay as a buy it now at a really good price and finishes Thursday evening, and I don't want to buy unless I know somebody can collect it for me, as I can't get there for a while. Don't really want to miss it either.

Thanks

Nasher.

Many thanks for the offers.

Leapy, I'll give you a shout tomorrow.
Its all paid for, it just gives me more time to arrange getting up that way.

This is what all the fuss is about:-

It may not look much, but the powerhead is the correct engine for my military canoe.

Sorry gents turned into a manic weekend and I haven't called Leapy

Stu

What sort of time will you be passing through Solihull?

It may be that you could pick up the engine from the seller.
He's a retired gent so may be at home.
