[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 14313, member: 456"] Grant, Condolences to and your mother over the loss of your father. The difficulty you will have over getting a valuation is that the condition cannot be judged from the photos alone. Someone needs to see it, test the compression etc and, if possible, hear it run. If someone was to buy it as a donor engine to go into an original frame etc then you would expect to get less for it than as a runner. There are several knowledgeable VOC ers near you and if one of them will give you a hand to get it running, even without the wiring finished, then you are certain to get more for it than as an unknown project. Assuming it is complete but unfinished and the rust etc is only surface rust then you should be looking for about £15K. Finished as a runner but still with some rust etc then you could realistically expect to get, say, £20k. Make it smart and running really well and then £5k+ on top of that price. Others might have different ideas and if so then this forum is a good place to express ones views. Good luck [/QUOTE]
