Default Dealer launch model gone to car museum at last

Some of you may remember that I was trying to get my late husbands pride and joy - dealer launch 2.5 Connisseur into a car museum . Its finally happened and should be on display sometime next year.
That just leaves me with a load of spares to dispose of including a 2.5l V6 Auto engine on a cradle originally bought from SirRustalot. Brand new upper and lower Rear suspension arms and what looks like various motors/pumps etc.
I tried to list them on Members spares for sale but it won't let me if anyone has any idea of how to get rid of them I'd be very grateful for any ideas.
If any welsh members are interested I'm in Pembrokeshire

Well done with getting it into a museum and for dealing with something that at times must have very difficult for you.

Which museum is to be displayed in?

Best regards

It's going to Caister Castle Car Museum, they have just finished extending the car part of the site so it will probably not be on show until next year.

congratulations that's is some achievement

As for the parts, hopefully someone will contact you asking about them.
I think you need to be a paid member to advertise in the for sale sections.

Excellent news the car is in a museum. With regards to the parts, in my personal opinion I think the parts should be in cases like this be allowed in the for sale section at no cost to the poster

Agree with Les re the parts, given the circumstances. Hopefully a mod will read this and take the initiative.

We have done so in the past for people in similar circumstances.

A five minute drive down the road from me. I look forward to seeing it.
