FS : two Augusta gasoline engines

[John Bartley]

Hello all,

These may be a bit heavy for an ultra-light, but I guess whoever has an
interest will know that better than I.

I have in my garage, two Augusta 42hp twin horizontal crankshaft and
cylinder gasoline engines in their factory crates. They were sold by
Augusta to the National Research Council many years ago and then were
surplussed out.

They belong to a friend and he has asked me to sell them for him. I have
posted them a couple of times with his asking price of $3000.00US each
(which I think is a bit high), and have had no serious inquiries. Now I
would like them out of my garage, and so before they go back to him, is
there any interest (serious interest - not a freebie) in making him an
offer?

They can be seen at http://www3.sympatico.ca/oldrad/Augusta/augusta01.html

Thank you

Fascinating items. No matter how I Google, I can't find anything about them!

Me either!!

Well, seeing as the number of replies is threatening to set a new record
for "lack of interest" :-) , which is sort of what I expected anyway, I
guess I'll put them in the truck and take them back to the owner. It'll
be nice to have the garage space back.

cheers

Try the correct name "Agusta", not "Augusta", and you'll find a wealth of
information about this legendary aviation and motorcycle company. Try a
Google search about "Meccanica Verghera Agusta" or simply "MV Agusta" and
you'll know what I mean. It's the Italian equivalent of your Harley and
Indian and Buell all in one.

I used "Meccanica Verghera Agusta" as in the pictures. All I found was
motorcycle stuff.

That helps a little. Dual ignition. 42 hp@2700 and over 2 lbs/hp up to almost
3lbs/hp.

Still, I am attracted by two cylinder engines. These older ones and the three
new entries I have seen.
