Would it work financially if you bought it complete, stripped out the tooling and sold the rest on?
Have to admit i will probably buy a new chinese lathe when i get the space for one as i don kneed yet another project. I like the look of the axminster, warco, chester machine tools and excel machine tools small lathes.
That looks like an army mobile workshop.
Probably not a drop bed truck of the same type is listed as only £7500, the workshop trucks are probably in better knick so you can maybe add 2 grand to that. It might work if you were taking the whole workshop structure off the demountable sliding bed as i bet you cant buy as good a shed for that money all pre wired fitted out etc.
Edit: i mean it all depends on the condition the lathe i in as a harrison is an expensive peice of kit.
It would probably tip the ferry over anyway.I'll not risk it then.
