Ron Reeves Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 John you are a lucky man. The engine is a Mk 111 ED 2.49 introduced about May 1948, and apart from the missing prop driver it would appear to be complete and in quite goo condition. It was eventually replaced by the ED Racer in about 1950. Probably not many of this variant were manufactured and as a result it is probably worth quite a bit of money to a collector.

Engine Doctor Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hi john Have a look in the gallery section .I posted a picture of my complete motor some time ago .It Is rare compared to the Comp special which it is based on. Unfortunately no parts are interchangeable other than the prop driver and spinner.Replica tanks and tank mounts are available .

Ron Reeves Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi GuysFor such a short life term between inception and replacement by the Racer, ED really seemed to 'go to town' on the 2.49 and more were produced than I at first realised. I guess to make my ED collection complete I will have to seriously start looking for one myself. Jack, liked the picture of the Arden, quite a complicate piece of engineering and in nice condition. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
