It's impossible for us to 'value' something like that - ebay will value it for you - sold by a willing seller to willing buyers on an open market!

£100 is probably a fair starting price. I always find with ebay that if you start things at 99p then you end up selling it for more than if you started it at a price nearer to what you expect to achieve!

It's hard to put a value on the engine though. I would always buy as 'condition unknown' expecting to have to strip it and at least do some work(expense) before putting it in a car. Others might just fit it and see...

It would be interesting to see what they go for. Please keep us posted.

Quoting those figures will help your auction, if they are good of course.

No bidders so far at the £100 start price...... They are worth about £100 each, but a lower start price does encourage bidding......

generally the typical problems with engine/box transplants in a Minor is the box fouling with steering rack, and not fitting the tunnel.
For a manual gearbox the solution is usually cutting a big chunk out of bellhousing, and modifying the tunnel cover
For an auto box - be wary of chopping holes in it!
