November 2024
Last addition for Nov
Somewhat unusual add for us as neither the owner or us have any clues as to the identity of the motor, other than that it was built in the UK. It was bought originally from the auction of an engineer and model enthusiast, and more recently the new owner has died so all his models have gone through another estate sale, all information now having been lost. What we have gleaned is through the extensive memory banks of 'John' who has kindly provided the background material. Seeing the photo of this engine stirred a degree of familiarity in the back of our own minds as we were sure we had seen something with the same characteristics before , which transpires was the single cylinder version at a swapmeet earlier this year.
|
For Sale: Finely engineered three cylinder, radial, four stroke model engine. Believed to be one of a series built by George Bradbury, an engineer and model enthusiast in the UK using a standard cylinder and head to create a number of unique engines, single, twin, flat four, three and five cylinder radials. This was a similar approach as used by Gerald Smith for his family of radials use multiples of a single cylinder unit. As nothing more is known at present, not even the capacity, please contact OTW in the first instance otwmedia0@gmail.com and we will pass details on the the seller so that discussion and negotiation can take place over price etc. Now Sold |

Oliver Castings
We are delighted to be finally able to reveal the results of a project that has been on going for a number of months to make the entire range of Oliver castings available again. OTW has known of the plans for a while, but now, Ian Harper has everything in place to supply castings for these iconic cars. Most importantly, these are not 2nd or 3rd generation castings, but from the Oliver/Howlett originals, and at a very competitive price. We have to applaud Ian for making this happen and making the castings available again after a significant hiatus.
|
The Oliver model car bodies are available once more from me “Ian Harper”, a recent convert to Tether Cars, having purchased the original body patterns from Paul Ironmonger. I obtained a good deal from a local and friendly Black Country foundry enabling me to offer sets at a reasonable price bearing in mind recent cost increases in power and aluminium prices. I intend to extend the range with a Vanwall and maybe one more in the near future preferably British, your advice is always welcome. Photos show the complete line up of castings and most of them built by John Goodall except the unfinished Bomb. Alfa Romeo, BRM (with re-contoured intake), Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes and Tiger 2.5 are all priced at £130 a set of top and bottom halves, with Bomb and Bottoms Up priced at £110 plus £10 shipping in UK only. Please enquire actual shipping cost if outside the UK. Please contact me Ian Harper at Telephone 07840 389274, or email ianharper1961@gmail.com Thank you. |
