What about this :-

2 TON ENGINE CRANE, 1000 LB REPAIR STAND, LOAD LEVELLER all for £150 (Buy it now).

eBay.co.uk: 2 TON ENGINE CRANE, 1000 LB REPAIR STAND, LOAD LEVELLER (item 290079740954 end time 09-Feb-07 10:35:45 GMT)

Buy it & then ESC hire it to get your outlay back.

If the going rate is £44 a week you only need 4 hirings & your into profit.

Same here. 1 set of PFF7's, 3 out of 4 standard struts, set of Prodrive Eibachs, 2 new 6' x 4' fence panels, tumble dryer, freezer & my beloved 850 Norton Commando. Just about room for me, my workbench & my tool racks.
