This is a genuine request to try and find a Burrell agricultural traction engine between 6hp and 8hp. Must be an engine with full UK history, ideally having worked in the west country. Anything considered from a derelict to part restored, rally condition or one requiring boiler work. All responses will be treated in the strictest of confidence. Please PM me with any offers or contact me on 07779 722392.
Possibility of doing a deal with a 7hp compound 'R' type Fowler agricultural engine, number 9271, new firebox, back head and boilerwork done, new back axle, 3rd shaft and bearings. Just completed it's first rally season from rebuild. Full UK history with only three owners. New to Turners of Lazenby, North Yorkshire.
Thank you,
David.

Pride of the South Hams, I think is still for sale at Preston services! Looks very nice!

And of course "Pride of the West" as advertised in Old Glory.
