These engines are two of the better ones that I’ve seen recovered from the ground, alas for me the 20’s don’t have enough usable/interchangable parts to buy one, but I bet the cranks are straight, (especially in the first one)
;a good usable wheelcase must be worth £500 alone.

Stuart,

Recovered engines can be in unbelievable condtion. The engine we have on display in our museum (and is not available 🙂 ) is still fitted to the engine bearers, the complete firewall with all hoses, cables etc. still in place as well as the complete tubular mounting frame that was fitted to the outboard wing pick up point etc. The reduction gear is also missing on this one. With the wooden/resin props the chances of missing reduction gearing is much less.
