Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
Yes, complete and original, but MK2. The box is not that rare and the block, crank and head sure are not worth that. Having said that, if anyone wants another one for that price.......

Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
Thats madness surely
Interesting that the seller would sell AND recondition it for £6k but someone paid over £7k as it is.
Just noticed it's the old 'bidders identity hidden' type of auction

Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
I would take that with a large pinch of salt that the engine sold for that . It's easy for 2 ebayer to do a mutual agreement that the sale didn't go through , so as the fees get reimbursed . A good buy at the right price but considering that it needs reconditioning worth no where near it . The hardest bit to find on that engine is the block if it's a thick flange . I can't see why you couldn't replicate that for half the price and that would be reconditioned . My mate spoke to the garage and they wouldn't confirm the gearbox as being a (S box ) . Just because it's got 1128 on it doesn't mean it's got a 18 tooth first motion etc . What first struck me about it in the first place is why would such a engine building firm want to let go , the block and crank .? ... ONE BIG ADVERT .... For the garage ....

Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
I bought a turbo crank off them and in the description it actually said "we don't know anything about these, make your own mind up".
So, being a used part, I allowed for a regrind on top of the price as a worst case scenario thinking it would all end up pretty good. I got it after 8 weeks being messed around with the shipping, one thrust face is scrap and the biggest giveaway (to anyone who saw it in the flesh) is the word BENT written on it with magic marker.
No recourse with eBay because I was well outside the 28 day refund window. I now discovered that they trade as well, Brigham Engines ltd.

It's now obvious this company called BRIGHAM ENGINES are fraudsters, if they say they now nothing about this crank as quoted above , then messed wantafaster about until he was out of eBay rules ,so he could get nothing back.wantafaster1 wrote:I bought a turbo crank off them and in the description it actually said "we don't know anything about these, make your own mind up".

There's also a NOS coil sprung flywheel going.
