Price of engines for rebuild

[JohnD]

I have an eBay search for Triumph engines, so when  one comes up I get to see the ad.    I must start to keep a record, as I think they are rocketing in price.

EG this rusted old boat anchor, £200 as a starter!   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225013171246?hash=item3463d4842e:g:yB8AAOSwksBil-M~

We'll see if it sells, and for what.

I think that is the old Quiller chappie. Hence the serious asking price for something that may not be as good as you would hope.

Holy moses. "Been stood for 5 years". Somewhere very damp and salty.

Carefully stored in salt marsh…. Seems a bit dear, especially since he doesn’t say if it turns….. and I suspect not!

Nobody bit, and that auction ended.

But he's back, and asking the same price!  Triumph 6 Cylinder 2.5L 2500CC Engine Suit TR6 2500 or Upgrade for GT6 Vitesse | eBay
