Straightsix Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Hi Need some help selling Stromberg carbs please. These came with the purchase of my mk2 Vitesse. I have no history of their condition and there could be some parts missing. There are various packets of new seals, gaskets, diaphragms and needle jets. My question is what are they worth? I’ll include some photos as a guide. Used parts seem to command strong prices these day ask me how I know! Not wanting to shortchange myself what should I expect…..£150?? Appreciate your thoughts.

johny Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Looks like theyve got their identification tags so might be able to identify them and confirm theyre a pair. The jet holder on one looks like its been undone so hopefully that can screw back in... As their condition is unknown and they might be missing parts I think theyve got to be sold for parts/overhaul so 100 pounds is possible... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Prices vary, I sold two GT6 carbs recently, front and rear matched, for £37. Another single carb (front, I think - see photo) in excellent condition with new diaphragm failed to sell at all. Check eBay for prevailing prices but they're not really worth much these days, which I found to my cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josef Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 If you’re not desperate for the space or money, then I’d keep hold of them. Especially if the bodies seem to have (relatively) little throttle shaft wear. Just spent £98 having my close to identical set for the GT6 rebushed. The spares alone will come in handy for your own car at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68vitesse Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 Often found when you need something it is rare and expensive, when you sell it is common and cheap. Often the same part. Regards Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 Yes and the component youve got sitting on the shelf never fails on the car or if it does you cant find the spare anyway🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straightsix Posted August 1 Author Report Share Posted August 1 Yes you’re all spot on there 👍🏻 I have SU carbs fitted and more familiar with those, so the Strombergs are surplus to requirements as they say. Will probably keep hold of them for now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
