A vintage horizontal engine, of elegant proportion and in good condition.

Lots of nice details we like on this one including the one piece turned crankshaft, split main bearings, bar turned nuts on the cast iron guide bars and beautifully fitted wooden cylinder cladding.

The engine runs nicely on air, with some wear apparent in main bearings, crosshead and eccentric.

It could be run and displayed in its current condition - and it has rather a lovely patina about it - or sympathetically restored and repainted (where personally we'd leave out the red highlights on guide bars and flywheel).
