Lovely old girl, no paint or high polish,just well cleaned to preserve it's natural patina.They are only original once!

That looks brilliant those 102 are very elegant.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen one just the square blocks.

Real honest looking motor NICE.

Thanks you two,what do you mean by "the square blocks "Journeyman?

[lodgey62]

It came with a few spares too,piston ring,copper fuel pipe,small key for removing the jets,propeller, plug caps and a big Hessian bag to put the motor in,sure I've missed some bits .lodge 3 pin plugs

[Journeyman]

The Centuries and the Forties have square blocs with removable heads and that is the sort of motors I have rather than the round block with integral head on the 102's

I understand, I've had a couple of 102s but this is lovely with all its bronze and copper and it runs beautifully, as quiet as a mouse,mechanically wise and to think that it may have been used in our war effort is pretty humbling,I look at it now and treat it with a good deal of respect and to think 75yrs ago it might well have been running flat out for hours on end,fantastic fantastic engine, take a bow,British Seagull.

Beautiful SD. You've done well!

Lovely! Can l add SD685 to the SD registry? If so may l have the magneto JM # and if the clutch lever is plain with no inscription. Also these early ones had a B number B#### on other side of crankcase from engine number. Love the early P3's!
