How do you work that out?

On ebay it says the engine is in Northants. Hillmorton is in Warwicks.

But Russell Newbery is in Daventry, Northants, surely!

The 'works' are elsewhere though

 

This is the misleading part of the ad:

 

 

 

All parts for any refurb are available. New dm2's are available at £18995.00 and £12000.00 refurbished so grab a bargain!

 

It could read 'we have all the parts for you to refurbish your engine'. I think it says 'buy this engine. You can get all the bits. It's a bargain compared to a new one'

Exactly where my thoughts were also.

Also, the pictures clearly show a National or RN block laying around.

I've not noticed a Russell Newbery factory popping up there.

 

The registered address of the company is not necessarily where the day-to-day manufacturing is done.

At least it's not registered in the Cayman Islands..

I stand corrected! Apologies.

[MtB]

No need to apologise. I might yet be proved wrong. Again!

Dave and Debbie Bixter at Granthams Bridge Boat Services bought RN a few years ago IIRC.

JP 4 - looks industrial, only 800 hrs on clock

And will likely end up being broken for spares, as there's little demand for JPs bigger than 3 pots.

HR3A - electric start, again industrial (with accessories)

I can confirm the workshop is in Daventry, the office in Hillmorton. The eBay pics were taken in the workshop.

Gardner 3LW on EBay, see item 172100148203. Looks well finished.

It's quoted at £4500 if you get it for that you have a good deal. There is at least £2500 labour in a 3LW rebuild without the bits and base engine cost.

[MtB]

Doesn't appear to have a transmission though, so that's another £1,500...

You still have a rebuilt 3LW for under £7000.

But paradoxically, if it had one less cylinder it would be worth 50% more!
