Finest Twin Victoria I've seen by a wide margin, this one has been beautifully built - fit and finish of the machined parts is excellent - then well-detailed, with barring slots and rope grooves in the flywheel, rotating big end oilers, flanged and bolted pipework, thin locking nuts on gland studs and prototypical spacing of the cylinder end cover studs. Complete with an elegantly worked Watt-type governor.

The whole engine is mounted on a base, beneath there is hidden away pipework for running on air and a motor/gearbox to drive it slowly for display. There is an acrylic cover which fits over the base, more for protection than a thing of beauty.
