I have a rare 1275 A+ Series engine from an MG Metro I'm looking to sell.

Looking for buyers in North America, preferably Canada.

It's a runner.

Compatible with any A Series car including all years of classic Mini, Moke, Morris Minor, MG Midget, Wolseley Hornet, and Riley Elf.

It has a rebuilt head, brand new fast road cam and transmission included.

Just a note, it's 72 hp versus standard 1275 A Series 60 hp.

And it can be converted to turbo.

I'm asking $1800 OBO.

More pictures available on request.

I also have a 998 A series for sale with 36,000K on it. Runs great. Looking for $1000 for it.

Contact me via my email, [email protected] or my cell phone at 403 818 3833

Cheers!

This is absurdly priced even for the States

A 998 here in the UK can be bought for £50-100

listed as a 1275 dumb nut,,,prob buy a v8 small block 5lt plus over there for the price you state,, as they are plentyful over there,,

Yeah. Over here the A Series is a little harder to come by. And an A+ Metro is next to impossible in the private market.

We aren't as lucky as you Brits, what with parts coming out of every which way!

I bought the engine for $1500 from Minimania and put about $1000 into it with the cam and machining to the head and what not.

So really I'm selling it at a $500 loss.

It's really not as outlandish as it seems.

Anyway, good luck with the sale!

The supply and demand rules apply. You aint going to get much of an engine here for £50 to £100 LOL

[adam_93rio]

It's quite interesting to see the difference in prices. 998's are more than plentiful over here, so you may find a runner for £100.
These people saying $1000 is too much don't even live in the states, a series engines aren't exactly popular amongst American cars are they


Just realised you may be from Canada. Same bits apply though really

In fact, the Canadian dollar is something like $1.84 to the British pound. That makes $1000 about £540, so it's not exactly a lot of money for a low mileage engine that runs well, won't be long til they're getting rarer over here and we're looking at those prices

Thanks for the support guys. I really appreciate it.
