Good luck with the (presumed) restoration of the 'B'.
Thank you!
I've had it for nearly 25 years - but never got around to it. A good few years ago it went off for a re-spray. Long story, ... |

Oh, wow. That's fairly conclusive proof. And by far the closest looking I've seen.
'My' one even looks to be in better condition, mostly. Albeit missing quite a bit. There are a few corners o ... |

Hmmm...
I've got this to look forward to on Friday. I've hired a 3.5t beavertail to go and collect a car.
In their defence, they did 'make me aware' that the 3.5t was the total limit, and that ... |

A boat engine - that's an interesting thought. No history that would make me think of that, but not ruling out anything..!
The lathes... The first is an old watchmaker's lathe. Like the engine, ... |

It will be a week or so before we're back to have another look, but I will check for more markings.
I think I would have noticed a crow's foot - but I will check.
And I'll let you know if I get ... |

Awesome - thanks for all your help guys.
I'd spent quite a while on google, but with little to no success as I didn't have a clue where I was starting from.
Ironically, I did think it might be a ... |

Hi..!
The two markings are: EV1597 and H 59, which is stamped near the base, twice, where the two halves are bolted together.
I don't recall seeing any markings on the pistons - I did notice th ... |

Hmmm... I wonder whether it was an early generator then?!
Ironically, I've just found the same logo on the motor for what I think is a watchmaker's lathe.
This logo is on what I would have de ... |

Firstly, I know it's an engine. Well, I think it is!
Found this clearing out my father in law's garage. It's amongst a whole load of things that I'd love to keep and play with one day (including ... |

Hi, sorry, late to the party...
I had mine done at a place in Wiltshire, back in March.
Was £350 - but that included a bit of remedial - I had some blistering on the back and peel on the top.

Awesome with the order - and their stuff seems good.
One item was wrong. Joint effort, in fairness.
Never any argument to sort it - but took AGES and prompting.
But WAS sorted - so wou ... |

Hi johnnyd,
I've still got it, and still not used it. But after almost selling it to John (before he was offered a brand new one), I decided I'd keep it.
I think we concluded that it was probab ... |

I got a Laser set off Amazon - 20 odd bits I think. Really decent quality.
I'm sure there are other good ones out there - but as has been said, there are PLENTY of gash ones too... (Speaking fr ... |
