How rusty-subframe/mounts/floors/bulkhead/trumpets under front wings?Can you easily get a powerplant over there for it? Sounds like possible hassle to me

still heard nothing about the mercedes yet so with the three cars going next week (to the scrapyard) i'll be opening up some space for more tat

Engine probably in a Mini long since. Still worth the money if not too rotten.I could be wrong but I think the MG versions were 1275cc twin carb only though a lump shouldn't be too hard to find, at least without carbs.You could see about £550+ for that if half decent but that's assuming eBay UK or Practical Classics forum. Imagine MG versions super rare these days.

Well that's a Mark 1 MG1100 so it would have been a 55 bhp 1098 motor with twin SU's and close ratio box.Someone somewhere will have a 1275 Metro engine. You will need this plus the gearlinkage, a pair of 1100/1300 engine mounts (a clutch cover would be best as well as the alloy mounting/long studs that fits on the radiator end of the box and a pair of late 1300 driveshafts that have the pot joints. Is there a radiator with it?If it's not rusty, it would make a very pleasant little tram to smoke around in.
