Bristol Centaurus MK 175 engine

Sat Sep 22, 2012 4:52 pm

I am helping a friend sell some engines and she has a Bristol Centaurus MK 175 engine on a stand with the cowling. I am trying to figure out what the value of the engine is. There are no logs or paperwork with the engine. It does appear to have been run.

any idea's?
