Hi merkle, I have started working on my Napier Lion, it’s a big restoration, look here in a couple of years, I also have a Wasp Jr to get going along with a Commer TS3, 3 cylinder, 6 piston, rocker arm to crank, 2 stroke, diesel with supercharger.

Nice
Nice one Andy,
I take it thats the one youve restored, whats your next project in the pipeline then,
I must admit that i was in control of the batterys, when we had the run up, although i couldnt resist chucking my mate out of the cockpit so i could give it a bit of gentle throttle,
Crackles a pops like a bastXXXrd , but dont they sound nice,
When you gonna get yourself a R2800 then, Now that would be a brute, or a Centaurus, Only thing is youd need a trailer the size of a lorry to weight the thing down, Haha ,
