Couple of questions...
What exactly is needed to get this engine running?
What caused the fire in the first place?
Have you had it pressure tested since the fire?
Which "wiring" is burnt?

Well yeh now, price excludes vat and delivery. I think you will find that prices of throttle boddies have come down alot over the past couple of years

It may looked fooked in the pics as they were taken about 3 hours of the fire been put out. Look at the front of the car all black, thats a thing that smoke does.

I'd have taken it out of the car personally.
Auction is honest enough though, I'd be interested to see if someone is able to get a bargain.

If the fire occured while the engine was running the ECU would have suffered some damage in one way or another.

Easier to sell it as it is and be honest about what's happened.
If the auction closes at the current price, the winner's going to have a good base for a rebuild.
