Only ever sold one engine Matt, and that was the only one that I didn't restore so had no real interest in it.  Some have needed more work than others but at least there is a part of me in them!

There are still a few left, a Ruston PB6 in bits plus a Gascoigne Miracle Milker awaiting restoration.  About three Jap 2A's and 2S's, a couple of spare Villiers and a Landmaster Kestrel rotovater.  Also a couple of waterpumps awaiting attention, when I get a minute.   Oh, and the Crossley vaccum pump and a Cooper Stewart rotary compressor to find a job for.

Pete.

No, it is a DOG.  You know, black and hairy, barks a lot!  The parrot is green and yellow, has feathers and lives in a cage, quite easy to tell them apart actually...............
