If someone on here goes for this you might want to ask if he has the engine backplate.
The flywheel is off the engine and whilst he mentions he has this to go with it, there is no mention of the backplate, so I wonder if he's used this elsewhere.
Not a big deal I'm sure, especially if the price stays this low but worth bearing in mind that you may have to source one.
Best wishes,
Mike.

If you want to fit the engine in the link above to a Morris Minor you will need a new modified rear engine plate anyway.
The Marina rear engine plate is larger to suit the larger Marina gearbox bell housing.
Not having the rear engine plate in this case is not the end of the world.
You will have to fit a modified flywheel also to make it fit the Morris Minor.
A suitable rear engine plate and flywheel are available from ESM.

As it still has the original side positioned Marina engine mounts attached I suspect that it has not been near a Morris Minor but came direct from a Marina. The front engine plate will need to be changed to a Morris Minor type so as to suit the Morris Minor front engine mounts.

That's still cheap given the other 1275 engines that are for sale, prices have shot up lately.
