Just saw this one on the aussie gumtree site, a bit on the expensive side. He also has a 6/1 listed..

Actually Glort,

his other engine is a Lister CS 6/1 for $1200, considering he says it runs isnt too bad?

It has "great patina".  Is that antique-speak for left out in the weather and rusty?

Actually, I loathed marketing bullshit so much that when I managed some R&D contracts for the USAF, I would insist that no marketing people were allowed in project engineer to project engineer status reporting. Much harder for them to get working engineers to lie, obscure, and bend the truth. For most corporate marketing types, that's like breathing.

You are much closer to the truth if you assume the opposite of anything coming out of advertising or marketing. Take any ad made by any large company, investigate thoroughly for yourself, and see if I'm not right.

Greenwashing is just one common example.
