If I inserted a trapezium into the a-frame of the sponge-guzzler, will it increase the bhp by much?

[Bec]

How much is this engine worth, I've got no pictures but it's yellow with some blue paint flaking thorough?

Thanks in advance.

My mini keeps making a weird noise, can you tell me what it is please?

Thanks.

Can you tell me what this part is? It's sort of metal and I don't know where it came from.

No pictures as yet but I'm sure I'll forget anyway.

Thanks

yellow engines are worth much more than blue ones, so i would guess a yellow/blue engine to be worth somewhere in the middle

Some companys that Recondition Engines paint them dif. colours to show the grade of the Rebuild.
If i remember right Blue is the basic.Yellow mid range.Gold seal the best.Some Companys Gold paint looks a bit Yellow.
The old MG Metro Red Lumps are great in a Mini.Years ago we had to search for Austin 1300cc cars to get the big Engine out of.
When young and Mad on Minis i found an old man with a mint rare MG 1300cc Austin £175 for sale.
Knocked his door said i buy it .He said most people like a good look and a run around the block first.
No need i only want the Engine and box out of it.He went mad at me No Sale i ran back to my Mini.
Another old tale.

I've been offered a mini but it's a special edition and they want £9.400 for it. Do you think I should buy it? It's a really rare edition, it's the square shaped mini with a fiat badge on the front and panda written on the back. They say I need to get back to them asap or they will up the price and poke my eyes out with spoons.

Thanks in advance.

I was told to use a clay bar on my mini but the closest I could get was hair putty, it doesn't seem to be leaving a shiny finish, any ideas?
