Are you looking for that special engine?

I have been slowly disposing of some engines from my collection over recent years, mostly foreign so far. However if you are looking for a special, or difficult to find motor please check with me. I do have a few unique engines available, how about a pair of very rare MK 12 twins from 1976 in Japan? One is diesel the other glow and made by Norio Murita and based on Enya cylinder assemblies. A pair recently were sold on ebay for over £700!!  I also have an extremely rare and very early engine a five cylinder Cetonia Co2 radial engine made in Paris in 1912 the earliest engine in my collection. Please ask for John
