Hi Phil
I don't think that ELTO made any other folding outboards in 1929 apart from the lightweight, could you post some pictures of it as a reference?

I thought I might post about my anzani super single outboard - one of the oldest I have seen around. I got it for free halfway through last year and it has been sitting at the back of my workshop for the last few months. It has the villiers ignition and an Amal carburettor so I believe it is complet...
