That works OK, it is a bit confusing for someone trying to quote a url as the pictures all have thexmod.com all over them!

Strange, I copied and pasted URL straight from the address bar and I have just checked it in 'history', but you are quite right the link seems to be a dud.

Yes, not something you would want to pay money for if there was any question mark over its serviceability. Engine is a Fichtel and Sachs unit and ISTR we used to have them reconditioned by Norton. Quite a few came back as BER hence I have small collection of knackered bits (I'm looking at a rotor on my desk right now).

Cymbeline is still in service in many parts of the world and probably still has support contracts running. £200 is a very small fraction of what it would cost to get your new power unit through 'official' channels.

BTW. Cymbeline's predecessor, Green Archer, was powered by an Enfield '80' flat twin diesel. It lived in a large trailer mounted cylindrical enclosure, officially called the silent power unit, but known within EMI as the tumble dryer!

If you are really lucky I might put up some pics of the BER bits I rescued from the company skip. Doesn't look much like jewellery though after being marinated in rat excrement in my 'low access' shed for years ;-)

Might raise a few eyebrows with the neighbours if I parked that in the drive ;-)

Where was it from? Reconditioning and selling sets captured during the gulf war was nice little business for a while.

To us, yes, but to a lot of industries a small portable unit with 1.5kW output at 24V would be very useful, and far cheaper than getting something built. 60A output could be used for jumpstarting trucks, aircraft earth movers etc etc.

Its lightness is probably a bonus. The carriage looks a bit excessive at £70.

I'll put it another way, I would have liked to see inside it :-))

Martin P

OK, probably not much to see, and half an hours work to get the top cover off. Looks like a fibreglass moulded cover...

The F&S Wankels are a lovely little engine, real jewellery!
