I bought a few castings kits back in the day in the initial enthusiasm of getting hold of hold of a lathe several years ago. Unfortunately the time and effort required to actually build them has escaped me and I am now looking to pass some of them on to people who will actually make use of them.
The first of these is the Les Chenery Anzani "Y" Engine Castings + Drawings Kit mentioned in the title. It is available on eBay, to UK buyers only, as eBay item number 256307283139, link :
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256307283139 Initial bid is set at £225 with no reserve.
The castings are entirely unmolested and in the same condition as when I received them from Les Chenery before he passed. I believe the castings and drawings set to be complete, but what is pictured is what is supplied, nothing else is available.
Auction blurb as follows and pix below:
You are looking at a Castings Kit and Drawings Set for an Anzani "Y" Engine In New Unmachined Condition.
Note that although a picture is provided of a completed engine for the information of the viewer this auction is solely for the casting kit as described below. An external youtube video, reference r3BsHbPG68o "1910 Anzani Y Engine" of another completed engine in running order is also available to interested bidders. NEITHER OF THESE COMPLETED ENGINES IS SUPPLIED AS PART OF THIS AUCTION.
These were provided to my directly by Les Chenery before he passed and the following will be supplied :
1 off Front Crankcase Casting
1 off Rear Crankcase Casting
1 off Rear Cover Casting
1 off Carburettor Casting
3 off Cylinder castings
9 off A1 sized sheets of drawings comprising 8 off detailed drawings and 1 off general arrangement drawing.
Other castings kits for similar engines have been available in the past, the prospective bidder shuld be aware that nothing not pictured will be supplied, only the 7 off castings and 9 off drawings shown will be supplied as part of this auction, this is the full set provided to me by Les Chenery.
Prospective bidders will hardly need to be told that these castings are no longer available and are as rare as hens teeth. You are pretty unlikely to find a set from another source any time soon so please consider that in your bidding.
The drawings I have are rolled and I can obviously supply them either rolled or folded as the buyer prefers. The quoted price for shipping includes shipping the plans as a separate item in rolled condition. I will apply a discount of £7.00 to the total cost if the buyer would prefer to have me fold the plans instead since this means they can be shipped in the same box as the castings. If folded plans are your preference then message me via eBay after the auction ends and I will apply the shipping discount.
Thanks for your interest,
Boo
