Paul H Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 This Vitesse 1600 engine block had a starting bid @ £100 didn’t sell now relisted with a starting @£80 . Is it not worth the asking price https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/324182874472? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Limited demand for the 1600. Nowdays owners are not the same as those who keep spares under the bench "just in case" and so on. There is an assumption that spare stuff will always be available, but that is not the case. That block looks a decent buy if considering rebuilding a 1600 engine.

Pete Lewis Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 if it was bored to take 1200 pistons it would be easier to procure than 1600 +20 pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahebron Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 My spare1600 is a short block complete with metal fan that hasnt turned over in many many many years. But I have a NOS bare cylinder head for it thats hasnt even had valves cut into it. That one for sale has had a decent amount of money spent on it to get it to that stage, well if it was in NZ it would be a decent amount.
