They stopped making Mk2s in approx 1992, so no engine is brand new any more. I don't know when VW continued supplying 'new' parts (engine block and all the other bits, or complete exchange engine) up until, I imagine up until that point they retailed at something between ?1000-2000. An aftermarket engine reconditioner couldn't really hope to sell this type of engine for more than about ?800 unless they had something extra over & above simply being a new aftermarket rebuilt engine. If you were to sell them as a private seller, then you cannot offer the same assurance (or guarantee etc) as a well established "household name" engine reconditioners so you'll never get ?800. Maybe ?400-500 at the absolute max???

They're probably seized then, what with them stopping being sold 17 years ago.

I'll assume the auction was from a liquidation sale of a VW dealership or possibly a garage who'd bought a Genuine VW engine. Now you have an idea of the price, maybe post something in the "Parts for sale" section then? The proof of the pudding, etc….
