"This engine was purchased as a runner and stored as a spare, even though we haven't had it in a car it has been turned over by battery"

They're not even assuring you that it's a goodun - just that it was purchased as that.
I guess that a lick of paint really does do wonders for selling any engine... *oh well*

Hi,
I've been joking with a freind of mine for weeks now. The phrase is paint it red and put it on ebay. This gets you £600 for a low mileage 1275 MG metro lump, which will apparently drop straight into a mini even though its got all the wrong mounts, thermostat housing etc. on it!
Cheers,
Gavin. :)
