VERON ALTON SPECIAL PARTS WITH MIKE BEACH 3.5cc SPECIAL SPARK ENGINE. This project kit contains most of the important and difficult to find components to make an Alton Special car (no wooden bits included). There is a good plan for the car (kindly given to me by Phil Smith). The engine is a one-off made by my old pal Mike Beach about 40 years ago, using an ED 3.46 piston/cylinder liner assembly, complete with a new 1066 type clutch and drive coupling parts. There is a well made, smooth running RRC 1066 bevel gearbox with Muffets gears, plus a vintage ignition coil with switch and a modern condenser, plus some spring steel strip for the suspension, and a set of four new 4”diameter repro Meccano tyres (no lettering) and wheels, and some starting cord. £300. |

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. |
