Engine numbers, found on the front right hand side on top of the block below the head, would help.

I will try get some pictures tomorrow of the engines

[JakeJakeJake]

The weber with a yellow manifold looks like a 40dcoe and is worth between 80-200 depending on condition.

The engines especially the 1480 (probly 1459?), 1380, 1360 will be worth alot as the most likely feature uprated (expensive ) parts

The twin what look like HS2's could be worth 60-150 depending on condition

Wings if heritage and not dented about 40 each

I feel like im on antiques roadshow! this is all worth alot or is enough to build a nice mini!

[Tommyboy12]

Wow what a gold mine. Most people on here would give at least one limb to have a garage full of those parts!

What you see in the pics isnt nearly everything in the garage, its so full you can barely move around in it.

Would it be worth refurbishing these as they have little tiny chips in the paint, and one is light silver, 3 are white haha

[grahamransom]

Probably not, you may not get the cost of refurb back. They may have been worth refurbing if they were 'rare' wheels but, there are still quite a few Mambas kicking around. They'll sell as they are I reckon. Get 'em on ebay

I will definatly get you some pictures of the shell! But it will probably be the last thing as there is also doubling as a hold-all for most of the garage aswell

I think you need to get someone round to help sift through it all. From those3 pictures, O have seen an HIF38 or 44 carb, (fairly desireable) a couple of Webber carbs (again, fairly desireable) an a-series engine (as opposed to the a plus from the post '84 cars) but without the first few numbers off the engine plate (on the top of the engine, near the waterpump which is above the long arm where the clutch is) I cant tell what size it is. BUT, you have quite a little goldmine there so do some research!

Thankyou for your post!

From what i remember my dad telling me, there are 4 or 5 engines under that mini;

MG metro turbo engine + gearbox
1480?
1380
1360
1275
998
and the 8xxcc engine from the early Mini

But that is off the top of my head. If you can give any information how to identify these engines, ill gladly fish them out and put pictures up!

For the later A+ engines they are 1275cc based if the block/head is originally painted red and 998cc based if yellow.

These are all cylinder head parts not worth a great deal, the thinner ones are worth more if you have a full set (they are lightend or something, all I know is that they are better) will help you sell any cylinder heads that are worth about £20 for a standard one upto £200+ for a well worked race one.

Doors are worth about £40 if in good condition, glass and mechanisms are usefull aswell

Bonnets worth about £30 or more if someone takes a fancy to one of the crazy vented ones.

The engine with an oil cooler is a good sign, means its probly got some good parts in there (fast engines get hot)

Roll cage parts are hard to value cant tell whats there or build quality, if there is a full, high quality cage could be worth about 200?

momo wheel box sugests it carbon in some way (other than colour?) so worth alot, especially as it looks new, monomry one about £15

no idea on exhausts really probs a tenner or so?
