I sold a set of genuine Clubman GT twin carbs very similar on behalf of a mate, Ron Williams, who had professionally restored them. With no air filter they fetched $750 on ebay. 6 months ago. (they were in 100% immaculate condition)

So i'd say top dollar you could expect from the carbs SANS filter would be $800. And that would be top dollar!

Cheers
Matt

Usual price for an average complete genuine & matching (for those into full proper car restorations etc) set would be around $400+, add in the cost of a full resto and $800 is about right. (for fully restored etc)

There are twin carbs and then there are twin carbs ...

51 pounds is for just the air cleaner (mark1) which can easily be picked up anywhere. I have been after a mk2 air cleaner for 18mths and its the first one i have seen for sale.

I agree it is alot to pay for an air cleaner, though i will spare no expense in restoring "Morris" to his original glory. Only won the auction by $10

I may just keep it all for spare parts.

Babes, if you are quite serious then I agree with what you are saying.
If you NEED the last bit to make your car genuine/ even just how you want it, there can sometimes be no limit to what you will spend.
