Anyone seen this on ebay?

I'm looking for a 1275 to rebuild, would this be any good? If not can someone recommend somewhere that would sell a fairly cheap engine / gearbox?

As far as i can tell its from a metro or something of the sort?

I don't know about the engine number, but I suspect it is out of a 1275LS, or maybe a Moke. It has the rear facing thermostat, so it is out of an Australian car with pollution control.

A little bit of Googleing and it appears a 12HC could be a MG Metro 1300 HLE engine - 1983 - 85 - A+
The pollution head points to this too.

I think he has misread the engine number, he listed 12HC2UHZCC****
and the 1275LS has 12H902UH00****.
So if you replace all his C's with 0's and add the missing digit between the H and the O it all adds up to a 1275LS engine.
Everything looks right for a 1275LS except the twin carbs and the Australian 1100 rocker cover.

Rod change box
Late fuel pump
Breather on timing chain cover
Rear facing thermostat cover
Pollution head
Late alternator

'taint an A+, has the A type distributor bracket... and A+ didn't have smog heads (out on a limb here)
