DH Gipsy Major

Really not sure if I'm in the right place. But is there anyone here that has a realistic idea as to the current value of a Mk 10-1-1, 145hp that has just shy of 1200 hours. It is currently perfectly serviceable and flying.

Was a top overhaul done, could extend the life?
Re-build cost £30-£35K
Ditto, talk to vintech.

Oh, I thought he had retired! Yes it had the top end overhauled and ring mod at 800 hours. Incidentally, due to mods embodied on this engine, I believe the tbo is 1500.

Echo Romeo, do you have any documentation of 1500 hrs overhaul time? It would be very helpful. TNS GE 30 and GM 10 no15 at 1975 gives it as 1000hrs and I have nothing after that.

Auster26. Not to hand, no. Initially I was told verbally by an enginner. I then, out of interest did a little research, and found some information on the the laa site.
