Weber head - value?

Chaps

I know of a head with a pair of webers on it, wrapped in an oily rag in a shed.

Haven't seen it yet - but assuming it is in fine fettle, what is something like this worth?

Cheers

A weber head that has new guides and seats, machined face and plenty of thickness with no water corrosion is around ?2000, so you can work back from that.

I would guess that if it's straight, not cracked, not badly corroded and is within thickness tolerance it has to be worth somewhere around ?800 - ?1200....plus ?150 or so for the webers if they haven't been stored at the bottom of the sea!

Well the oily rag isn't worth a great deal unless Jim Clark used it on his Elan :lol: but as I need a head I'm going to say that the head is also not worth much or this will drive the price up :(
But seriously you need to know more about it ......why is it off the engine....has it been over skimmed.....is it a mk 1 or 2.....how are the seats and guides.......is it a BV ........has it got cams and which......are all the cam caps there....there is a lot of rubbish out there and some delusional people are quite happy to take your money :roll:

Cheers all.

I expect it will end up on EBay in a week or so.

Before that I will find out its history and condition and then see what's what.

Turns out it is a bit of a treasure trove!

pair of 40DCOE2
Pair of 40DCOE31

And the head - is still connected to a complete engine.

All in a shed! Will be having a look next week to see condition etc
