That is almost certainly a Universal Motor Company two stroke engine made in Derby, available in sizes of 1/2 & 3/4HP and thought to have been produced into the 1930's. Please note the value depends on condition and is not necessarily the maximum quoted. David

It's a Whitney Simplex gas engine made to the Bathe design, dates to around 1908 to 1910 and was made in London. Can you take a picture of the underside of the cylinder so we can see if the valve gear is still there. The value without the valve gear would be somewhere in the region of £400 to £450, with the valve gear about £750, but this depends on the mechanical condition, which is difficult to assess from photographs. There is a article on Bathe engines in the Stationary Engine Magazine, August & September 2016 issues. Here is a nice picture of the ad from 1908, £5 in 1908 is around £500 today. David

It look's rather like a Low Powered Farm Milking Parlour Engine used to run a pump, or may have been used for running a generator/dynamo. Should be Water Cooled?. Presume it runs on Gas or Fuel Oil (Kerosene)?. All depends on condition, any maker's Marks and how much of it is missing, as to what it's value is, no Idea.

Update on this Saga, is that I received another confirmation of an error due to Shipper Agent, this time from the Main GSP Company. E-Stray are still blatantly denying it and refusing to make attempts to reverse their decision in 'Favour of the Seller' and issue refund in my favour. Actually, I now don't give a damn about them anymore (insert Emoticon with upright middle digit) !. Their attitude is appalling. The Shipping Company is arranging for the 'Returned to Sender' item to be re-sent to me with full Tracking Assistance overseen by them!. So I presume the Seller also agrees, as he now has it back (although no contact received from him). Will have to wait six weeks for it though. No sweat really, as I always wanted the items anyway.

Got my 4.00-8 Tri Ribs (4ply on offer at the time) from Malpas online UK. Had to send the 4-4.50-8 Tubes back, as they were way too skinny to use on a 3.75" wide Rims. I eventually fitted 5.00 x 8" tubes and they fitted perfectly. Link to when I was working on them - http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/22490-74-c-120raider-update/?page=8 .

Don't know too much about them or value but I wouldnt mind owning it

Definitely the only fairly complete one I've seen with the later starter, I do have the engine from one in my collection, it also has the mesh debris screen. Never seen one fitted to anything else though, must be something Turbair added. David
