Now that is rather nice !! That'll be getting on for weighing 2 tons for sure !Cheers,Jim
Would the £200 price tag make it more attractive,
If I had a swimming pool I could hook up a bunch of elements and boil the pool in an hour.

There's a jp3 for sale in holland in better shape,https://link.marktplaats.nl/m1523623520There for sale regularly but looks there's not really a market. To big and heavy for hobby and to old for use.Nice sound though
Here is one on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lister-J-P-4-Diesel-Marine-Diesel-engine/113995344977It is worth that price for the electric start flywheel alone if the ring gear is any good.
/\ If I remember correctly your JP4 engine had a cobbled together electric start arrangement, with an automotive flywheel taper locked onto the crankshaft, and an automotive starter motor meshing with it via a welded steel framework arrangement.Whereas this ebay JP4 has the original fitment electric start flywheel.Currently Marine Power Services will want the thick end of £600 just to fit one of their starter rings to your own flywheel.
