This would have the 3.7l M112? So no balance shaft concerns despite the "350"
designation?

Looks nice, wish it had more close up pics of the typical rust areas.
Weird that it's near Columbus OH but the Craigslist URL is for Los Angeles.

Here is a video of engines start and taxi of a flyable BAC 111, with
Rolls-Royce SPEY engines.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-CNrtQpXWs
Putting the aircraft back in flyable status would be Huge$$$ undertaking.
If log books could be found for that airframe, and for the engines, landing
gear,
I flew a VAC 111 to IAD from Heathrow back in the late 60s. The landing
was unbelievably smooth and the cabin very quiet.

Finished doing the front carpets in the 95E320. Pass side came out looking
really good. Driver side a lot better but after 265kmi carpet has some patina.
But got out a coupla stains so that’s good. The cloth door surrounds are much
cleaner now too. I had pressure washed the mats before,

It’s probably just an ignorant seller. I don’t see any reason a salvage or

We definitely have rebuilt titles in Indiana. There is a dealer here that
specializes in them (mostly cars that have been totaled due to hail damage). I
don't get it either, unless it's some variant of title brand that Indiana
doesn't accept. But then how did they get Indiana plates for the

Not all that different than that 380SL I bought some years ago. Most fun I ever
had, driving a _cheap_ convertible. This must be some sort of gray market
edition,
as it's really a 280SL. Has manual 2-zone HVAC, which has got to be worth
sumpin.
Are those Euro bumpers? Battery up front. Two

So basically it’s a rebuilt title based on some sort of damage, could be a
flood car or wreck or something else. If it checks out could be a good deal but
not for the ask. Could get a history on it,
That makes no sense but maybe there’s something to it. If that’s the case then
the value drops tremendously. I don’t think there would be any issue here but
who knows what that means.
