image.jpgimage.jpgHello. Im trying to identify a pair or SU carburetors. One carb has the numbers 1159 on it and the other has 3258. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. This is a good pair of dual carbs that are just sitting in my n that I would like to get rid of. Also if you can ballpark me with a value. Thanks
 
The front carb has an auxiliary starting carburetor like an early Jaguar XK engine from a sports car or a sedan . Mid 50s perhaps . Measure the intake throat size and do some checking.
 
Looks like my friends MK7 from 1953.
 
MK7 or 120 one and the same. 120C may have had sand cast, but yours looks 48-55.
