Villiers D270 on ebay

Nick,
I owned one for a while and if this one isn't sold I shall speak to the present owner who we all know. Mine was complete like this one is. Had one achiles they used to break the crank on occassion. Martin P

and the seal between fuel and oil in the sump breaks down and the monkey metal governer carrier explodes and they sound like a bucket of nails. Rare though :-) By the looks of the high bidder it'll be heading up to York passing a Crossley spanner en route.... ttfn Roland

We had one that was almost new, came from Vauxhalls when they had it running a blower for a Quonset hut/building.
We relived one of our supplier's fathers of it for a decent consideration and passed it on at the next bring & buy at Bromham for cost plus £20 IIRC.
It came on a big chunk of 1/2" steel plate which I think is still in the engine shelter.

Made £157. Seems quite a 'full' price or am I just out of touch again?

Well, I thought Our Friend had done quite well too. I was initially interested, then John appeared with the two C-V MA2's - and anyway they appealed to me more . I'm away south to fetch them tomorrow.
Certainly, the Villiers is unusual, but I'm less attracted to squash-bang jobs anyway as I have neighbours to consider, both on the rally field and in the back garden! An engine than needs to be cowled must be pretty noisy .......
Regards,
