Advice on Rotary enginee

[Rotaryengine]

A family member has a 10A wankel enginee and he is looking to sell. Just curious if anyone has any experience in this field or could point me in the right direction. I’ve attached some photos. I believe these to be very rare

Are you looking for help to estimate the value of the engine?

Hi. Yes please

Hard to say. Depends on if you find the right buyer I guess. Try taking it to an auction house and see what they say.

It says TCP on the block so came out of an early Japanese market RX-3/Savanna. I imagine it would have some value in historic motorsport market because of that.

Yes I think there is some value as had offers from America for it. But other posts from the Americans advise not to sell to them as they know it’s worth a hell of a lot more. Some have offered 1500 plus shipping from Uk. Others have said could be worth 10k

£1500 i would imagine is unvalued for sure. It's rare but its a small market for them too.

I would have a go at speaking to somewhere like HME who specialise in rotaries and have experience of the older stuff, not just RX-7's and RX-8s. They'd at least be able to give you a better idea of value, and may even offer to take it off your hands.
