  1. I’m going to offer 10x your amount and fit it in my MX5

  2. Have you not got a pair? I need the two for my project.

  3. It’s obviously a fake. Everyone knows they used square engines. :p

  4. Beat me in a pod-race and you can have it. I’ll even throw in this useless slave child and his droid.

  5. Hey, I’ve just put in a bid for a Concorde Turbo Jet engine, please can you loan me some of the money?

    I need about three fiddy.

  6. I like it comes with a certificate of authenticity – i hate buying fakes for my speedbird.

  7. Lads, we need to start a whip-round. Let’s come together to build the CasualUK Flyer.

  8. I work at a place that still uses these to power electrical generators, fully maintained and fully operational. I fire them up to test run occasionally, always nice to say “I started a concord engine today”.

  9. Cool I’m looking for a fan heater to dry my washing.

  10. Could afford it, but fuel prices these days is putting me off.

  11. The lab I worked in for my 4th year at uni had an Olympus 593 (this engine) just on a stand. We didnt use it for anything it was just a display piece.

    One day I was walking past and, on a whim, decided to see if it still turned. Yep. Reached in the front and spun the blades, it turned beautifully.

    I walked past again 20 minutes later and it was still turning. It can’t have been maintained for over 20 years.

    That’s proper engineering.
