If I found anything under £100 I'd buy it regardless. Depending on the spec, I'd obviously pay a fair bit more |

Just bought 3 short small bore engines for £60. Last short 1275 was about 50. £20-50 for gearboxes depending in condition.

i bought my current low mileage 1275 metro engine a good 6 years back for £30, complete with head/gearbox etc. i was on the lookout for a 1275 bare block reccently, i was offered a few, but the more 'reasonably' priced ones were around 50-70 quid. look on ebay and bare blocks are advertised for anything up to £200 on occasion. |
