  Still Available, reduced price

Something really special, a pair of semi scale carburettors, superbly engineered. We are guessing that these came from or were intended for a substantial model engine. They have Amal type slides with adjustable jets below, float chambers, banjo fuel fittings and one still has the linkage for controlling the throttle slide. The bracket on the top of the body and clamp on the barrel would seem to indicate that they were going to be mounted as a pair with a linked throttle to both. The choke size is exactly 10mm. They might just be what is needed to complete a project or failing that, a pretty unique ornament?

Sold as a pair now at £80 ONO + postage  email OTW otwmedia0@gmail.com

Important sale: The words 'unique' and 'rare' are often bandied about in adverts when the items are anything but, however the advert that follows is largely engines that do come in to these categories. Quite simply, there is a 'one off' opportunity to buy part or all of a definitive collection of original, rare and indeed unique Oliver engines. We have been privileged to know of this collection from its inception and have seen photographs of what is on offer so are fully aware of the importance of the items.

For Sale:

A fantastic Oliver Engine collection probably the best in Europe, if not the world, has just been obtained by Barton Model Products. There were five twins which are all unique as many other of the engine are, one has sold but virtually every different version of Oliver engines produced mostly new or near new and in box are currently available. These include the prototype Tiger Mk1, Tiger, Tiger Mk2’s including a 19 and 3.2cc, a sand cast early Tiger Mk3 a prototype plain bearing Tiger Mk4, development Mk4’s schnuerle port prototypes, a NIB Tiger MK5, marine, all Cub variants, Majors including Compact Major built by JSO for himself and I have the Junior Nobler JSO intended it for which still needs covering £50. Why not re-unite them? RC variants, but no car engines all at competitive current prices.

Most of these Oliver engines can be seen in John's super book The Olivers and a Tiger. Copies may still be available from John

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.
