Fancy your own jumbo jet? Well, part of a 747 has been put up for sale on eBay.

The 40ft-long fuselage has been placed on the internet auction site by a design company, which used the mock-up aircraft to create a new line of interiors for airline Cathay Pacific.

With the project now complete, designers at DesignQ, based in Redditch, Worcestershire, have no need for it.

“My friend suggested we put it on eBay,” explained one of the firm’s directors, Howard Guy.

“It seemed a shame to break it down and scrap it.”

Mr Guy, who runs the company with fellow director Gary Doy, said he expected a range of people to be interested in it.

“It could be a movie company needing an aircraft or a nightclub wanting a private area,” he said.

“It could also be a cafe – it could seat about 40 people. It’s got electrics and newly designed interiors.”

The fuselage cost £140,000 but the company is not looking to achieve that price on eBay.

Mr Guy said: “We would be open to reasonable offers. It has got a scrap value of £10,000 because it is all aluminium.”
