    It's clearly a two stroke and I wouldn't be surprised if it's not the original motor, something from Villiers perhaps. That rear sprocket looks modern and I'm liking the size of that horn!

    BASTIDS!!!!!:grinning::worried::confused::sob:

    I'm sure I read somewhere in the course of my search that the Villiers engine was actually designed by Triumph. Gave around 1.75 hp apparently - some info on Triumph Owners Club site.:)
