One revolutionary engine from Buffalo, New York!
A unique Axiel engine from August Savage & John Piston (Aero Research & Development). The most unique model engine design that was offered for sale to the public in 1963.

About the new "ebay payments" interface just introduced by ebay & its effect on dispatch time
We
all got used to ebay purchases with PayPal payments, that cleared
immediately, resulting in fast dispatch. Ebay have now introduced "ebay
payments". Ebay are saying "The payout will generally be initiated
within 2 business days from the order confirmation. Once initiated it
typically takes up to 4 business days for the funds to clear in your
account and become available to you". The onus is on the seller to keep checking when payment has cleared. Thusly, this new "ebay
payments" interface could add up to 6 working days to dispatch time
compared to the aforementioned PayPal payments. I imagine somebody
will get a bonus for this. This new payments thingy forced
upon us (you can't opt-out of it) has therefore added 5 working days to
my dispatch time. Please bear this in mind before placing your bid.
Please note the item is for sale by a private individual & in accordance with section 2.18 of the DTI (Department of Trade & Industry) OFT (Office of Fair Trading) Distance Selling Guide Sept 2006, the guidance for UK implementation of the EU consumer DSR (Distance Selling Regulations), so this item is NOT subject to return nor refund.
