The entire contents of a Honda factory which made 250,000 cars a year is up for auction.
Potential buyers can make appointments to inspect the equipment and machinery from one of Europe’s largest automotive plants over a video link, SWNS reports.
The plant in Swindon, set to close in July, contains Honda production and assembly operations covering more than 370 acres.
At its peak, the factory manufactured around 250,000 cars per year.
Assets for sale include state-of-the-art engine manufacturing and assembly equipment, vehicle assembly, press shop, welding, injection moulding, die-casting, general machine tools and a paint plant.
You can pick up 59 Yaskawa robots with YRC 1000 controllers and manipulators which have never been used and are still in their crates.
There is also a four-cylinder diesel engine multi-station assembly line, a drive-through vehicle rain simulator used to check for water leaks in car bodywork, and a vehicle lift which can carry 3,000kg.
A robotic paint line, mechanical steel and aluminium presses with a 2,300-tonne capacity, welding robots and emissions test equipment are expected to go on sale in the near future.
Gordon Brothers is arranging the sale of the car manufacturer’s machinery and equipment throughout this year.
Commercial and industrial managing director, Duncan Ainscough, said: "We are excited to announce our appointment as sole asset-selling agent for the Honda Manufacturing Equipment in Swindon.
