My mate asked my opinion on them as he was looking to buy them and break them but at a shade under £400 each I told him to step away If I thought I could sell my turbo engines for that in that condition I would be having a rather good christmas.

Our local Mini breakers sell complete 1275 engines 'Low mileage' for £550. They reckon they are 'restored', but its only a fresh coat of paint a new head gasket and oil filter. Having said that the guy that paints them does look like he takes his time and puts some effort in. Its not like the paint is just slapped on *laughing*

Needless to say I won't be buying one from them, lol. I bought an A+ gearbox that came with a free unleaded 998 engine with 45k on it, thats what they are worth. I would pay £75 for a short 1275 and perhaps up to £150 for a complete one, but its not likely to happen much when Minisport are buying them in in pallet loads of 50

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

This one's a bit more reasonable:

I remember when 998s were £40 and 1275s were £60. Should have bought a few and put them in storage...

Problem is though, they always seems to be miles away from the person who wants to purchase one.

In 2008 i was given a pre a-plus 1275, which had alot of machining work done to it... the standard of it was reasonable.

And then a few weeks later i noticed an a+ block down the road from me for £30.

So some bargains pop up now and again... just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

i once got a 1293 with a 266 cam, 1.5 rockers, stage 3 head, lcb , lightened flywheer and a gt c/r box for £30. that was 3 years ago and the guy at the breakers was unsure about it as a drop gear was fubar. i picked up 2 running compleate 1275 motors at £30 each at the same time as i spoted them in the skip waiting to go to the foundery.

I tracked down another 1275 earlier for £100 quid, trying to resist the temptation to buy it.

My best bargain was an entire metro for £50 quid last year. Siphoned £20 of petrol from the tank, and got another £20 come weigh in time.

That's rubbish. Me and Minimadmotorman bought a metro for £40, pulled the 1275 out for the van, sold £30 of spares and then weighed the rest in for £92. Now that is a bargain!
