Twin 40's on a Datsun manifold. Selling but haven't a clue on value. Carbs are not seized or anything but been stood years so prob want a refurb. Any idea what I will get?

Could be a few quids worth as the type 31's - if they are both 31's were the type used on Lotus twin cams in the Escort and Cortina - so the carbs alone could demand a few pounds over the norm and they look in good order. I know little about Datsuns but even so I suspect the manifold will be worth £75-100

I would list them on ebay as separate items - could be £300-400 for the carbs to the right person and you have a global market. If you check ebay completed listsing for DCOE type 31 you will see above are facts not speculation.

Stamped on it TIPO [40DCOE31] - Each type of DCOE are different types - You will find type 31 covers alone are £60 due to the association with The Ford Twin Cams. Many of the types are model specific then there are generic numbers like 2 and 9 and 13 on the 45's

Sell the DCOE's to someone restoring a twink and the manifold to someone who can stick something less saught after on it - or 45's
