For a low mileage engine it looks well messed with. I.e. the carb's been sprayed black gearbox etc has all been sprayed over.

Also looks to have a early non-verto starter and a late type dizzy. I would think it looks a bit mix and match to be honest but its hard to tell from the pics.

No oil cooler fitted and no feed for the turbo on the block so wondering if its a turbo block etc. Or someones changed alot of bits over, once again meaing its been messed with a bit.

Just be careful buying un-run engines. They can be very expensive.

Any 1275 can be made to run a turbo if you were thinking of rebuilding the engine anyway. Then you just need the turbo, carb etc.

Engine number *should* tell you a fair bit.
