Engine parts and a few other goodies.

Posts are automatically deleted after 3 months.
Forum rules
For Sale Section Rules

PLEASE NOTE! Postings in this section are deleted automatically after they have not been looked at for 30 days.

1) This section is for advertising items that you have for sale. Not for the discussion of listed items. If you wish to debate the pro's & Con's of any item listed, please start a new topic in the appropriate section.

2) Please DO NOT post links to your ebay auctions. This section is NOT for the advertisement of your ebay auctions.

3) If you have a number of items to sell, post them in a single ad marked "Multiple Parts" or similar. DO NOT post many individual advertisements as this forces everyone else's listings down the page.

4) It is expected that any items advertised on the forum are described fairly & honestly. It is the duty of the seller to ensure that this is the case.

5) Items listed for sale should WHEREVER POSSIBLE* be offered with a purchase price, not asking for bids from members. If you wish to auction your item to the highest bidder I would suggest you use ebay & pay the associated fees.

6) This section is offered as a free service to enthusiasts. Any deals made are between the buyer & seller only. The MK1 forum takes no part in any transaction & the appearance of any item in this section is not a recommendation. I strongly suggest that both buyers & sellers are happy to proceed with a deal before any money or goods change hands.

7) It expected that people posting items for sale are "Active Members of this community". Any Adverts placed by members with a post count lower than 5 will be deleted.

8) The advertising of or soliciting for VIN tags, log books or any other vehicle identification documentation without it's associated vehicle is expressly forbidden. Any member breaking this rule will have his membership terminated with immediate effect.

9) If a moderator considers any postings in this section to violate either the spirit or word of these simple requests the MK1 Forum reserves the right to delete any posts without prior warning or explanation.

10) The posting of items for sale on the MK1 forum constitutes explicit acceptance of these simple rules.

11) Members posting items for sale MUST include a rough location in their profile.

It would be much appreciated if sellers could leave the sale price on adverts after the item has been sold. This acts as a good measure of current value for other sellers.

* In some cases it may not be possible for the seller to list items with a sale price. In this case, listings will be reviewed on a case by case basis by a moderator. The moderators decision will be final.

Post by kit of bits »

I’m just having a bit of a sort out in the garage as I get stuff out of storage and there’s quite a bit I’m not going to use.

Brian James car trailer with fold up drawbar, I’ve owned this for about 10 years. It had new brakes, bearings & tyres a few years ago. It requires a small amount of welding to the bed. Only thinking of selling as I’ve been offered an upgrade at a reasonable price. £1000

312 thin flange block (core unit) at plus 20, 316 crank fresh fitted but not run at 20 (TBC) has a small nose repair by Avonbar in the 90’s.
Pictures to follow £1000

Cam came from avonbar M2285 I believe it’s equivalent to Kent 286 ish fitted but not ran. £75

Head rebuilt by avonbar? in the 90’s appears to have 36/31 valves. £500 sold

1.5 rockers, I bought these from a forum member there have had a small amount of use. £125 sold

Belt drive kit I believe from avonbar fitted but not ran. £20 sold

Welded rockers, £25

H4’s (see picture) £200

Alloy drums £75

Head lining £75 sold

Minispares rose petals, spacers, nuts, Marks centres, Donlop tyres all new ready to fit. £1000 sold

Space heater (diesel) I’ve had this running today and appears good but to big for my garage. These are £470 new, £200 ono sold

Pistons +30 flat top £30

Head lining £80 sold

Postage available on most parts,collection welcome MK11 Stony Stratford.

Please remember these parts came to me as is and are surplus, there’s more to add.

Hum, I can’t really say much. There just an old scruffy set.
I’ll try to post some numbers tomorrow

I pm'd 'kit of bits' about buying a Mk1 head lining from this ad late on Sunday evening, he replied soon after and was even able to deliver it, as by chance he was heading past my way the following day! Arrived safely on the doorstep just after 9am on Monday. How's that for service! 8-)
Well pleased with the head lining, exactly as described and just what we needed for the early Mini restoration project I am doing with my brother.
