Clearing out the garage.

Found these Weber carbs. They were from a 1950cc 1969 MGB Roadster that got put back to SUs a few months back.

TIPO 45DCOE13
No/ 12507














Are they worth trying to sell on? Not sure if it'd actually worth someone recommissioning them, or are they likely to be scrap now?
I was thinking maybe an eBay auction with 99p start but the postage fees might be a bit scary!

Carbs? Plural? If there is more than one they won't have been on an MGB (unless it was pretty special!). I'd list it/them on eBay - Webers often go for a good price and postage using one of the typical eBay couriers shouldn't be at ll expensive.

Fair point. Carb it is!

Wasn't being pedantic, didn't know if you had more than just the one pictured and whilst it looked like an MGB manifold it's difficult to be sure from a pic'.

Refurb kits for DCOE Webers are cheap enough, work better as a pair though. Sluuuurp. Pop. Small fire.

A friend paid £250 on Ebay a year or so back for a Weber and manifold for his MGB.

Thread update - Sold for £145 to a chap in a classic car spares shop.
Pretty happy with that, and not having to mess about with eBay and postage.
