Do you mean the engine? Or Engine and Box? I have a 1275 Mpi type Complete engine sitting here that was running fine when I pulled it to swap Lump to a Manual. It came out of a Jap Spec Mini. I also have a fully reconditioned 1275 Auto Box in the garage.
I've kept the Engine as it has a LOT of good interchangeable parts that can be used with a Manual. However, Ive a few good 1275 Lumps under the Bench, so this could go if I get a reasonable offer. Jim

I have a 1275 auto mini engine the seller said the engine and box had been rebuild but there's no receipts, but it runs and drives perfectly and the engine can be tested prior to purchase as it's still fitted. I am upgrading it to a manual engine so it's coming out soon. Would like £400 for it.

£400 is a bit steep for something that is not really that desirable to most people

I appreciate its more expensive than buying an engine on the floor, but you can actually test drive this engine before you buy.

 

Buying an engine sat on the floor is a complete lottery where your relying on the seller to be honest;
