Hello all,

Looking to purchase a 1275 engine to rebuild and fit into my 1973 mini 1000.

I have seen these 2 engines on eBay from the same seller.

And this one

If anyone has any advice on which one to go for (If any!) please let me know. They're located about 40 minutes from my house but I won't get a chance to go and have a look until late next week as I am at work in Germany.

I would be looking to fully rebuild the engine and send it off to Rob Walker for the machine work before doing so.

All the best

Both blocks are A+ one has an A head and the other an A+ head. Both are over priced. As an unknown unprovable power unit 150 to 200 maybe.

Thanks for the tip off Nick,

I just wasn't sure what the going rate these days for a 1275. Somebody's asking £699 for an apparently serviceable unit. At least I'm not in a hurry as they don't seem to come up as often as they used to.

700 would be better spent rebuilding a knackered unit.

Exactly
