Hi all,
I had a long while the other day and had an idea.
There are number of V8 blocks and heads around me, which are scrap anyway, so why not change them in coffee tables (something like the guys at Top Gear have) and sell it of.

My question is would anyone be interested in buying such a table?
If so please let me know and what price would you be willing to offer.

Meanwhile I will start working on one and post pictures as soon as I am done.

Thanks in advacne...
Coko

I reckon if done well, i.e. the engine block is cleaned and polished with a good piece of strong scratch resistant glass attached.

I'd pay £500?

What i was thinking £50 seen as thou we're all mates here  RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

I could be interested must be bloody nice tho. Also I have seen them used as bottle holders would be interest in one of those to. Let me know whne one is read and how much.

Thank you very much for your positive feedback. I will crack on with it and get a first prototype ready as soon as I can.
Once this is ready we can decide on the price for it...

@ Jonny Fresh - It is clear that the block will be cleaned, polished, lacquered and fitted with scratch resistant glass.
@ Misery - Will get especially for you a bottle holder mate.

Cracking idea

I too would be very interested to see how the prototype works out

That sounds great! I really look forward to the pictures, I could be interested in one as well (although I have no idea where to put it ).  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

I don't worry. Due to the number of interested people here I think my house will be built and I will have moved in before you have all the tables ready, Coko - and I don't even have a building plot yet...  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

Coko,

If you want to get rid of just a block, PM me as I am looking for one.

Hi all...
I have had a look today and further thoughts about the design.
We will have two variants, one for bottles and one "standard"
And in means of the block, I can supply a Jaguar V8 or a Land Rover V8 (in limited numbers).
For those who like it smaller i can provide 4 cylinder blocks as well.
Will get the glass sorted this weekend.

Mine has to be a LR block.
