a series 1 shouldn't really be used to compare prices with an early S3, as thier prices and parts prices generally aren't even close from what i've seen (only been looking at landies for the last year) unless you're looking at comparing it with a very early number S2 ('58-'59) in factory original supply condition (all original but aged)...
£1200 "possibly" isn't a bad price on this motor but as has already been said it needs a good looking over and assessment for not too much future work/repair requirements and general "honest" condition of the rest of it, i feel it may be a little on the high side and it's a shame there's no overdrive ...
i'd just check to see the quality of the welding repairs that have been done as i've seen quite a few bodged patches on landy chassis in the last year which have made it no better than when it had the hole in open view (thin tin covered just to get it thru the mot rather than the rot cut out and replaced with good solid metal), check the bulkhead/footwells/A-posts over carefully as repairs to these can run away with money ...
i paid £350 for mine without knowing the first thing about them, very tired 2.25 diesel, rotted out dumbirons, swiss cheese bulkhead and no cab, luckily i can weld and swing spanners, ok it's still not pretty but it's solid (ish) now and goes like the clappers having swapped the engine for the 200tdi and 3.54 diffs

the price of good series 3 landies seem to be shooting up. Did anyone see the rebuilt series 3 on the bay that just sold for 11 grand.. :shock: :shock:

Wizard from here has kindly seen it last week for me and he says it is in great nick. I made them an offer of £1000 and they said they will let the auction run and if there are no bids will consider my kind offer.
We will see on Tuesday I guess, but currently still no bids. he says he has about 70 watchers but I know from past experience this means nothing! He also has someone viewing it today. Ahh
