Seeing as it has a non O/D gearbox, it'd be interesting to discover the engine number. A double or 3 figure engine number might impart some value!

Otherwise it's a £100 gamble!

With that amount of oxidisation, I'd say all the aluminium elements are scrap. With the carbs/manifold lose the engine is likely seized due to moisture ingress on at least two cylinders, so irrespective of number I'd say it's a crank and a water pump...if you're lucky.

The coincidence of the name belonging to another chancer trying to peddle rubbish didn't escape me!

I was thinking along similar lines, the amount of crap currently on Ebay pertaining to be for Sprints ( carbs, manifolds ,dashboards ect ) that are not is a joke !!.
