Samofa 2S108 Marine. 30hp @ 1500rpm. Although a running engine when purchased by the owner this engine had been sat for some years, because of this the engine was with us for strip, inspection and overhaul. however, a change of plans for the owner (second hand boat instead of a new one) means this beautiful engine is now available. Completed with 12v electric start, 12v 175 Amp Iskra alternator, Gear driven Jabsco coolant pump, modern fuel filter and its original 2:1 reduction gearbox this engine type makes an ideal power plant for a tradition narrowboat. Sharing many components with its cousin the Gardner 2LW it is a similar engine but without the premium the 2LW's cost.
This 1935 built Kromhout Gardner 3LW, 36hp @ 1200rpm, originally powered a dutch bus. This engine is a very early example of the Gardner LW series engines that were built under licence from L.Gardner & Sons by Kromhout Motoren Fabriek in Holland and underwent a total restoration and conversion to marine specification Including 2:1 ratio PRM 280 gearbox.

Engine current condition - Undergoing Restoration
1936 built Gardner 2L2, 19hp @ 1000 rpm. Originally supplied as a generator set engine to civil engineers Holland, Hannen and Cubitts in Sussex. Prior to the current owners purchasing the engine it was removed from its generator and ancillaries. This engine came to MPS for completion of its restoration as the current owner has been struggling for time to complete this beautiful piece of Gardner engineering. The engine was completed to show condition before returning to the owners private collection.

1960 built Dorman 3LB. 47hp @ 1500rpm, Originally powering a Jones crane this engine underwent a major overhaul and conversion to marine specification.
Although a less sought after traditional narrowboat engine these Dorman's are probably the best sounding of all the engines we do, with its long stroke each firing stroke is well defined and gives that sound that will get passers by asking what engine it is.
This engine was completed with 2:1 ratio PRM 280 gearbox and Twin 175A alternators.
