Steve Day Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi - Quick Question - I have a set of Swindon Roller Barrel throttle bodies on a Swindon Vauxhall XE manifold with carbon inlet trumpets. All in very good condition. Considering selling, any thoughts as to what they may be worth? cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Around £650-800, depending on whether they have the eight injectors, adapter plate which houses the water return to the header tank and if you have a back plate for the air filter box, and the throttle pot. *thumbup* Are the inlets straight or curved? Were they the ones Anthony Burgess got made? Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Day Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks Peter, really useful feedback *thumbup* They have straight inlets. They were originally supplied by Swindon. Have a water bleed on the inlet. With throttle pot, 2nd rail for the 8 injector setup. With backing plate (backing plate has been modified for an F3 style airbox - which may also be available!) Watch out for the advert! Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Flatters Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Oh gawd, I'm tempted. Steve, any chance of some snaps of all the various bits? I am familiar with these TBs, just want to see what they comprise. Pics could be sent to steveATptmpublishersDOTcom.

Steve Day Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi Chaps Thanks for all of your enthusiastic interest We haven't made a final decision on what we will be doing next season yet, so they're not surplus to requirements just yet. I have got the details of all of those who have shown an interest and I will definitley let you know when we have decided what we are going for!

mickmade Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Are they similar to these, and if so what size are they.

Peter T Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Yes, i swear after seeing these for the first time at the Autosport show 2 years ago they were indeed a very similar copy to the Swindon units, even Eric Pasture from SRE agreed.
