Gardner 2L2




Sextans has a Gardner 2L2 engine like this one.
It's not her original engine: that was a Russell Newbury. Later I think she may have had a Lister. Anyway she's currently propelled by one very similar to this: a Gardner 2L2 vintage engine from the 1930s, like Sextans herself. It's 18 Horsepower has two cylinders and makes a noise like a very butch sewing machine.

Next I did an online search for other vintage engines - both rotten and restored ...
