For £239.00 they also do several different deals with accessories added.

I spent a while searching and it was the cheapest I could find a 100L with 14.6 cfm, Machine Mart do the same compressor, for £311.

sorry I think that is a bit misleading. With 240v, 3hp I think is the maximum motor size due to start up consumption. Mine has two 3hp motors and works from 240v. One motor starts and then a few seconds later the second motor starts, my compressor is 270 litres.
whilst what you say may be correct for a 3 pin plug and socket, change the plug and socket to a different type and you can run a bigger compressor
