Broken SP6 value?
Discussion
I have 2000 RR SP6 from my Tuscan which had done 18000miles when the finger followers gave up. I just wondered if anyone might have an idea of how much my old SP6 engine might be worth(that’s if anyone would want it)??? Its in need of usual head work i.e. Camshafts, finger followers, etc and will be sold with no ancillaries.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I don’t really want to say too much yet, in case we encounter unforeseen problems but the engine is in! Just the rest of gubbins to attach, hopefully won’t be too expensive either! We’re hoping to use some of SP6 ancillaries to keep the costs down too. Only chassis mod is 4 holes drilled and sleeved. Also, have stuck with the T5 gearbox just to see how long it lasts, will probably go eventually but if not then you save a shedload of time and money!!
Will let you all know more next week……….when she’s started!!!

A speed 6 engine is worth no more in running order than it is not running unless it is being sold by a reputable speed 6 engine builder with a years warranty.
Having said that a speed 6 engine with a billet crank is worth £2500, without £1500 private.
Cobblers - who made you the oracle on how much they go for. A warranty mean nothing - especially with the company stuffed. If the engine was heard running then you could saw it would go for more than a non runner (maybe) or one that is obvious damaged.

You do post some nonsense at times Jellison. Read the mans post, he does not proport to be an expert, what he posts is common sense - warranty by engine builder (not TVR).

No different to selling a working RV8 - if it sound good in the car then a buyer will give a good price - make no difference if the same car is heard running at a dealer / specialist - if it sounds good it sounds good andymore than that and it would have to be stripped.
I know you love the 6.......

I am no oracle on speed 6 values Jellison, I am going on the values at the breakers!
With regards to, if an engine is worth the same running as not running, I still think the value is the same unless you purchased a refurb from say Austec, Craft or Power with a warranty
