Andy,

Thanks for posting these exellent photos. A good and varied selection of engines. Have you any info/ date of manufacture on the single flywheel A/B type in the fiirst picture, looks like a very early one.
Cheers Paul.

Was built in 1923 and featured the early carb and chain gaurd. I have some picutres of it as well that I am in the process of uploading.

Heres a 5 minute video I took today, featuring some of the engines that were on show.

Hi Mike,
That flywheel repair looks interesting - was it professionally done? I would have classed that as beyond repair.
