The 'E' Type Forum

Hi I have a set of Su tri carbs with belonged to my grandad I have been clearing out he's workshop and came across them. I'm trying to sell them for my nan I have had a offer of 1800 from a dealer but don't want to sell them to cheap can anybody help or is anybody interested will add photos. Based in northamptonshire
If interested please let me no.

Tell us how much you are asking?

They appear to be from a fairly early car as they have brass damper tops. Worth more than £1800 but put in the wanted/for sale section with an asking price....those are the rules I think.

I couldn't find the for sale or wanted section so I posted in general. I'd like as much as I can get to help out my nan. After swing what others sell for I'd take as close to £2500 For them

Never mind brass tops - the linkage alone may be over1000 as it is the v-early adjustable arm type. I’d say 1961 and worth at least 3K. I think there is someone looking for 61 parts in J-L classifieds. Will check.

American number of 61 parts buyer is 001 360 459 5023

West Coast, so 8 hours behind. Let us know how your gran gets on!

Hello,

Your XKE SU Tri Carbs item may be from one of the first 500-600 XKEs based on the dipped area behind the water outlet pipe just in front of the triangular blanking plate. This would make your item quite rare indeed.
Ref: See Haddock/Mueller "Jaguar E-Type Six-Cylinder Originality Guide," p-186.

I see a similar item on Ebay (but not as nice or rare as yours and not with the dipped area) listed for $10,000.

I would suggest that you list your item on Ebay with a start bid price of 4,000 GBP.
