I also have one. Why do you want one? Most of us removed it for a reason.

I'm located in Surrey.

Would just be cool to own the original carb that went on the car.

Also wouldn't mind having a tinker around with it to try and fix the problem that they had even if it is a dead end.

I had one on a mk3 escort. It was fantastic when you had a girl in the car. I could say "oh we've broken down" and not be fibbing! I could pull in a lay by with the engine off and pump the pedal 5 times and I swear to god that car would flood and not start!!!! Leave it a few hours and she would fire right up! Serious.
