price 80 euro? *really* depends on condiiton... make sure the pistons fall togehter, evenly and without binding. if they do bind not all is lost. it could be a dodgy needle or badly set up jet. and also check for hard to get bits like the linkage. oh, do make sure that its a pair of *twin* su's, not two regular SU's. there used to be a tag on the float chambers with a number which indicated where they came from. not all twin 1 1/2 SU's came from minis: some came from midgets, lots from MGB's an ive even seen them on old mk1 escorts. have you sourced a manifold for them?

While on fleabay, see if you can get yourself a Carb-balancer,i t's used to set the correct air speed through each carb. It can be done by ear, with the aid of a bit of tube, but the balancer is easier to use and more accurate.
While your at it get a petrol can too, twin carbs can drink the juice if you are a bit heavy on the right foot.

yes, you could put a webber on it, or a pair of splt webbers.. €€€€ but really,.. where are you going with this? you will get better economy and dirveability with a stage 1 kit that includes both manifolds, and exhaust. and at €80 you are half way there. if you are re-creating a "look" then the 1 1/2 are fine.
