Saving Old Seagulls

Ohhh that recoil starter is ugly!

To my eyes it looks a bit younger than 1949?...

Jeremy,

The SJM/SJP's did have the change in the do not remove on the cylinder heads.

The early SJP's I have on my data register (under SJP 22051) have blank cylinder heads (they don't have "do not remove" on the heads.

After a certain date (1960 something I think) they changed over to having "Do ...

Whoops, yes you're right Charles, I got confused...
Still the "n" doesn't make sense in the serial # - maybe a mis-stamp, I'm not sure.

Does anyone else have a seagull with the letter "n" in the date code?

Hello Mike

As others have said, you have a very nice motor!
From the research I have conducted, I'd say that it would be a 1966.
The serial coding with letters in the serial number came in to effect around 1960/61, before that there was just a numbered serial code (if that makes sense).

For ...

Hugo,

When I find my bracket I'll let you know...

Still looking.

Hi all

Browsing Ebay for Seagulls and came across this -

What I found interesting was the shipping 'address'... see pic below.

Charles,
I saved the pictures from The original ad off eBay.
If you wish, I'll email them to you.

Thanks for posting, what a great find!
Oh I wish it were closer to me...

It has dots with the engine # as well!

Hi all

Just thought I'd post here about this...
On the 26th June of I leave for our every-10-year trip to Europe to visit the relatives. We will be in Austria for about 5 days and the Croatia for 25 - the main reason I post this is to ask if anyone on here may have contacts or leads in that area ...

Well, at least the seller states, possibly ex-army...

'For the World' flywheel plate is 1953 onwards; it makes sense for the actual powerhead to be around that era...
Castings on the block say anything to you Jon?

Gearbox is correct to that motor, if you look closely you can see that someone has ...

You might get all your gulls running but what about all the other ones that will descend on you!


Hugo,
I aim to get all the Seagulls currently in my collection today all running properly by the end of the year. If I get another Gull tomorrow, then that's a side project...

Hi all

As most of you probably know, since this time last year my collection of Seagull motors has grown significantly, with over 12 different Gulls being part of my collection at some point in time.

For the rest of this year, it is my ultimate aim to have all and every Seagull in my collection ...

Collector Inspector

......a mark II Savage Gull as you all know is what I have ....

BnC

What a coincidence B, I've only just realised that my new tinny is a mark I Savage Gull!!

Bob,
I collect the data for SJP/SJM motors and as Hugo said, would like to get the data from your 40-.

Could you ...
