That's the very late block isn't it with the different casting 'rib' by the dipstick hole.

The carbs are ADO16, not Mini. Looks like they have been fitted to a Mini though because the jet on the right hand carburettor is clearly bent.

I mailed him/her to say that the wheels and carbs are not what is in the description but I doubt it will change anything.

A listing with Cooper S in it attracts much more attention than 1300GT.... ;)

I am not sure what makes the block listed a Works one. I can't see can't extra holes in it, all I can see is all the oil gallery plugs are missing....

It is a very late block anyway, long after the Works team had stopped using Minis.

LOL NOS that's going to cost a fortune to get machined so it can be used in a car. Its hard to believe people go crazy for this sort of sh1t.

He's looking to take a deposit on a car he describes as 'for sale soon', so it's not actually for sale yet then?

Has this one come up here yet?

I doubt it being NOS - I'm pretty sure they were painted - even when supplied as a part.
