[larkshall]

title says it all or is it a massive typo, accrding to add in a Norton Caines boat circa 1990

Typo for Rugged Nanni?

[XAlan W]

I think that you will find that it is a RUGGERINI Which IIRC is of Italian manufacture. again if IIRc they produced both air & liquid cooled. The only one that I have seen was an air cooled single cylinder, about 10hp & again IIRC it was rather noisey

[alan_fincher]

Yes,

 

Almost certainly "Ruggerini".

 

Try Google.

 

Example Linky

Cheers everyone, oic a modern diesel unit, surprised norton C ever used anything like that.

[ridders]

agreed its a ruggerini, unless it's a "rugged hinny" which would be a hard version of a cross between a horse and donkey, used to tow small boats and frighten rioters off the towpath!

[RLWP]

Didn't Hinney used to play rugby at scrum half?

[WotEver]

Perhaps it's an anagram for Grungier Hin... dunno what a Hin is though

[sarahavfc]

If it's TIger M, I'm pretty sure it was fitted with a Nanni.

[springy]

I thought hinny was an affectionate term for a north eastern lass ?

 

rugged hinny ..... ? hmm, risky territory

I knew of someone who had one in a Springer. His used to have a net underneath it so as it could catch all the bits and pieces that used to work loose because it was so rattly and he could find them before it fell in the bilge.
