Yeah, see this doesnt seem strange to me becasue Im new to the scene I thought £300 for a metro 1275 engine was normal? My dad kicked off say8ing I overpaid massivley when I brought the turbo engine home for £360 last year On 10th Mar, 2012 theoneeyedlizard said:

There is still cheap stuff about if you look hard enough. I bought a complete 1275 metro for 50 quid with 47k on it only 2 years ago. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

we used to throw away standard units in the past as the MG units were so plentiful. I recall the skip we filled with engines and boxed about 12 years ago when we moved out one of our units- probably £10k worth now! |

yeah been there seen that i remember 998cc engines you couldn't give away even if you were gona drop it off lol 10 years ago i paid £75 for a complete metro turbo that was so rotten but good engine. now i have seen the engines selling for £600 and standard 1275's with about 74k miles on them selling for £300 that is mad.
