This'll make some of you weep.....

Where I'm working at the moment, a brand spanking new, unused, never fired, Aston Martin V12 engine was brought into the workshop on a pallet .......................promptly taken apart and scrapped.

It's an HMRC thing, VAT/Duty and all that stuff, but a shame none the less.

Thats just a waste, if there's a tax issue why didn't they auction it off then keep the proceeds for tax.

There's all sorts of liability issues as well if you sell stuff, policy is simply scrap it.

The police do it with ill gotten gains from drug dealers etc, can't see how it's different tbh

Still a shame though

I reckon it'd fit into an SV frame.

I'm speechless!

They do normally, there's probably a reason why they haven't

I'm desperate to make a coffee table like the one on top gear... This would have been perfect!
