Gentlemen,
Have just had a look on EBay this morning, I am amazed at the number of rare engines that keep popping up(not) Petter"A", Lister"D" etc. I have a gold mine in my back garden. :-))

The other thing that always amazes me is that, when something that is truly rare, different, or unusual, crops up it rarely gets as much interest as the run-of-the-mill stuff.

There could be a good reason for that. When I got my old tractor, I deliberately chose a very common Fergusson T20. That's the sort of Lister D of the tractor world. Most parts are available, there are plenty examples to look at for inspiration and they're simple. My other reason was that I wanted a working tractor as well but that's another story.

It is particularly true in the engine world that rarity does not necessarily equal desirability does not necessarily equal value.
