Saving Old Seagulls

I like the 'hippy artwork', someone had a bad case of wishful thinking...

The 'Bolinder' engine was a type of single-cylinder two-stroke diesel used on some traditional commercial narrowboats. Never seen one, but there used to be a recording of how they sounded on youtube, it seems to have been deleted. People into canal history speak of them in hushed tones...

Looks a nice engine to buy.

It looks ok and it wouldn't take much to re-paint the tank but his price is high. Reserve will at least £200. And I'd rather have a Bolinder. Have a look at this video of a historic narrowboat in action.
