This is in the yard covered up Ruston Hornsby size 4 VSO diesel GEC generator set, I have no idea about the condition but it was running 10 years ago. Does anyone want a great rare restoration project? No its not free I have been offered £2000 for scrap but she needs to go to a good home. The generator is rated at 114amps running at 1500RPM giving 18.5 KW and boy this is a big piece of iron. According Ray Hooley it was sold on 16.4.1940 to Higgins & Cattle Ltd, London W1. I also have a number of single twin three cylinde and 4 cylinder diesel Lister Petters ideal for cement mixers saw benches etc that are on anther topic. Happy to answer any questions. I am near Fishguard west Wales.

I have various Lister Petter single twin three and 4 cylinder engines from the 1940's 50's 60's 70's collected, sitting outside in the back yard all diesels ideal for cement mixers generators etc some will run some need a bit of work or can be used for spares. I have been told by the better half if they don't go I will. Uploaded are some of the engines outside, some are kept under cover, if you need more pictures or details of any engine please ask. These are being sold not for scrap but to people who understand and appreciate older well built things, I am open you reasonible offers on any engine. Transport may be available at cost. I have more photos please tell me what you are interested in and I can supply more pics etc, there are over 50 engines, which have to go.
