Heads up modders!

From a Bravo, probably lowish miles as they say due to age. Clearly had a bit of heat damage (had an interior fire). You won't get cheaper, especially with all the bits. Wasn't able to determine from a phone call whether 120 or 150 model. I very nearly bought it, but I've got one waiting to be dealt with in the garage already and I can't afford the space.

Fiat engine prices in general. Get a 1000 mile 1.2 fire engine for £400-£450 delivered that's like new with any damage what so ever. It's surprising how much in eBay get over priced, and as a result doesn't sell
I understand that there are good deals on more common engines, even on eBay, but we're talking about a conversion here. Unlikely someone would even consider a N/A 1.4 conversion in a (new) Panda, let alone a 1.2. The T-Jet engines have a lot of very good parts in and attached to them in comparison to the N/A stuff and the price difference is over double from new. It might be easy to suggest a fair price for a 1.2 as there are so many to choose from, but how do you arrive at a fair price for a T-Jet when the prices are not established due to lack of product? Considering how expensive the parts are for them, I actually think the A500 engine on eBay for £1500 at the moment, despite being pricey, isn't bad value considering the condition and availability. Demand and supply will dictate a price anyhow.
 
My understanding is the fire was in the interior of the car, the heat radiated from panels onto the engine to melt bits. It would looked wrecked if it was an engine or under-bonnet fire.

Won't be long before the T-Jets are seen more regularly and prices and choice become better. I think that they will be very high demand in the performance modding/repair scene on FF.
