Does this one come with planning permission?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqxz8yrq150o

Phew! :D
A woman who won a £6m home can finally move in after more than a year – following a prolonged planning dispute that has now been settled. Vicky Curtis-Cresswell has endured an "extremely stressful time" since winning the property in Blakeney, Norfolk, through an Omaze draw.
Ms Curtis-Cresswell, from South Wales, had been unable to take ownership of the coastal home after a council probe found it had broken regulations. Omaze spent months addressing the construction issues, which they now confirm have been resolved. The luxury property was offered as a prize by Omaze for Comic Relief in March 2025.
However, North Norfolk District Council later opened an investigation which found it was in breach of planning rules.
It said certain features were built without proper permission, including a pool, garage and tennis court.
An Omaze spokesman said: “Omaze is pleased to confirm that all remaining works at the Blakeney property have been completed, and the home is ready for handover.
“Omaze’s lawyers are working closely with Ms Curtis-Cresswell’s legal representatives to finalise the conveyancing process, and Omaze has been in direct contact with her to arrange a walkthrough of the property this month ahead of completion.
“Ms Curtis-Cresswell has already received her £250,000 cash prize and has been regularly updated and supported throughout the process. Once she is ready to take possession, she will become the owner of a multi-million-pound property that she won for £10.
“Omaze appreciates that the process has taken time given the retrospective planning-related matters initiated by third parties that have been fully resolved and looks forward to completing the handover shortly.”

That's a nice car and the 997 GTS is holding really strong prices and seem to be climbing.
You can't go wrong with that car, the 997 is a twat for electrical gremlins because they overcomplicated what didn't need to be overcomplicated, but it's still a good car, I've had two and still got one in storage.

I'm skared Pa! :D I wonder if those pipes make it even more peaky! :crazy:

Prize Details

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented 1974 Kawasaki H2B 750 Mach IV—one of the most iconic and explosive two-strokes ever built—offered here as a properly sorted, reliable rider, not a museum piece.

This particular H2B has a great story. It was originally won by John Selman in one of our competitions on January 25, 2026. Then, unbelievably, John went on to win again—taking home a 1954 BSA Bantam D3 150cc from us on February 22, 2026. After enjoying the Kawasaki and with the Bantam now in the garage, he asked if we’d like to buy the H2B back—and we jumped at the chance. It’s not often a bike with this much character and presence comes back around.

Presented in stunning condition, it benefits from extensive cosmetic and mechanical restoration and some excellent upgrades. This includes fresh green paintwork, Delkevic pipes, a powder-coated frame, refreshed chrome work, and major engine work carried out in recent years. The engine has had a recent rebore with Wossner pistons, a vapour-blasted top end, and the crank was previously rebuilt by respected two-stroke specialist Gary Clarke around 2,000 miles ago.

The result is exactly what you want from a Mach IV: it starts easily, runs superbly, and has proven extremely reliable—an H2 you can genuinely ride and enjoy, with the looks and mechanical strength to match.
