Identifying original weber carburetors

[Wammer]

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me identify or point me in the right direction to identify these genuine Italian Weber Carburettors.

The numbers on them are:

Tipo: 45DCOE13
No: 7198 & 7225

Also does anyone know how much these would be worth?

Many Thanks

Chris

They look original and if refurbished (the one you posted look a bit tatty) could be worth around £400/500 each.

They were made for Alfa Romeos so might be worth asking on a few Alfa forums

Personally I would contact Gordon Raymond on the alfaBB forum as he restores all Webers from that period and would give you an honest valuation.

from what i know, 45s are for higher end performance models but not sure if these are from an Alfa Romeo or other car.

They make quite nice desk ornaments!

It's been a while since I had a car with a pair of DCOEs, but I didn't think the Series 13s were manufactured specifically for Alfa Romeo.

I recall these from my MGB days and think the DCOE45 13 were available as a retrofit for them.
A quick google search for them shows these were sold by Weber as a retrofit for a range of cars., although not always in pairs.

Ignore the BMW lines highlighted.
Seems the Jaguar XK-E could have a triple DCOE45 13 setup whilst a midget could have a single.

Pair of 13's were the usual fitment for a Mk2 RS2000 with a 2xDCOE fit, with a cam change and mild head work etc.............IIRC?
So, if they are in good nick (hold them up to light source and see if you can see any light passing the closed butterflies which would indicate worn castings and thus knackered) the world of Fast Ford's open up as a sales possibility.

Could sell them separately to mini owners. The 13's suit tuned A series engines well. I think they change hands in the mini circles for a few hundred each.

its D13's or the later 152 that are the ones that are suitable for minis
