For auction is an "UNTESTED"  This means the engine has been sitting unused in a collection for quite some time and I cannot guarantee that it runs, I can only describe it to the best of my ability.)  

TAIPAN Mk2 1.5 DIESEL.  This engine was manufactured by Gordon Burford & Co. Pt. Ltd in South Australia during 1962.  The engine presents in good condition cosmetically with no visual evidence of damage due to use or abuse. There is a little bit of scuffing to the read head.  It is also missing the prop washer and the prop nut.  The crankshaft turns freely emitting a soft popping from within the motor.  There is no box or instructions to accompany this engine.

PLEASE NOTE: ALWAYS CHECK THE VERY BOTTOM OF MY LISTINGS FOR ANY AMENDMENTS TO THE DESCRIPTION AS SOMETIMES IF A MISTAKE HAS BEEN MADE AND BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AND IF THERE IS ALREADY A BID ON THE ITEM, THEN I CAN'T CHANGE THE ORIGINAL WORDING IN THE LISTING. EBAY WILL ONLY ALLOW ME TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT.


This engine is part of my late husband's massive, eclectic collection of everything and anything spanning over 55 years. I'm just concentrating on all the Aero engines at present, which I know very little or next to nothing about. about. Will have to rely heavily on photos for identification.  PLEASE guys out there, Tag or Catalogue your engines, so that when the time comes, your loved ones will not be left with a such a horrendous, daunting task.  

****Special thanks to all out there in aero land, who have supported me with giving advice, corrected me when I have erred and most importantly, given me the encouragement I need to keep plodding along with this mammoth task.***
