Some were imported and marinised by Tony Redshaw about six or seven years ago. I suppose that tighter emissions regulations mean that he can't sell them any more.

Tony was importing the Greaves (big Indian cotton processing machinery company)  version of one of the Rustons. 2YDW possibly?  Greaves actually had a licence to build them.  They too could be a bit of a kit,  till Tony had sorted them.

 

(The cost and impracticability of) Noise tests and emissions tests formally did for them, though I don't believe there was much demand for them in any event.

I remember those but didn't know that Redshaw's were involved. From memory, a chap called something like Phil Jupitus marketed them over here - but that was long before the CS's came over.

I thought it was Phil Lizius of Longboat engineering that supplies the Greaves Ruston clones, but production of these ended. 

Some time later Redshaws introduced their CS2 clone. Still advertised on their website. Sounds a bargain at £8.5k including PRM 260 gearbox.

Nice National Twin....would need a gearbox etc but if its the right price.......

This is not a normal narrowboat engine, internals are smaller the heads won't fit the 2dm.

 

There is a roller on ebay to with the same engine in at 3k
