Estimate £700 - £1,200

Seems a bit of an ambitious estimate in that condition, no?

auction house obviously doesnt realise "that very desirable V8 power plant" is worth about 100 quid, the gearbox another 100 and the rest about 300 max

This sounds like it could be more interesting, ambitious prediction again though? http://www.cheffins.co.uk/lot/-813612-vintage-0

not sure on that one. here's one I just sold, older non-ecu ones are getting hard to come by.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-V8-engine-and-manual-box-complete-GWO-P6-3500s-/151071686551

 

As a going concern it looks too salty though

If you find a high-compression V8 for 100 quid, and a pre-1974 manual gearbox for 100 quid, please don't forget to call me first!

Also, please make sure to give me a heads-up if you find a Cameron green manual V8 shell with what looks like a sandalwood interior for under 300.

Please also make sure you do this before the club gets the news.

 

Junkman said 'please'!

 

A low mileage tax exempt S?

I can only speculate about its condition, but the low estimate is actually on the conservative side.
