rampant rivet Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 You may have seen in the restoration section that I've found a couple of Enfields in a barn, well along with them and the bsa came this little oddity, single cylinder side valve without a seperate head which makes me think its early but I have no idea what how old it is and who made it It has T/2 929 stamped on it but I cannot find any other markings. Fixed head i.e. one solid barrel/head early feature ? Any info much appreciated :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 That's one very old veteran engine, probably pre to 1st world war but no later. The big fin projections on top are to get access to the valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Triumph used the date code T up to 1911 and 2 for February. But I would have expected it to be marked 'TRIUMPH' somewhere? Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Thanks Ron :-D will have a better look tomorrow, could it be as early as that ? Interesting ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Is it not a Matchless engine ? A T/2 from 1927 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Yep I think you're correct just had a quick Google and it does indeed look like a matchless engine, thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
