Russell Newbery DM2

[alan12635]

this is a classic piece of british engineering and for how long they ran cheap at half the price.

[derry162]

We live near the works and have a DM2, a new one is about £20,000 and a DM3 £27000. People do exagerate!

[douro20]

I think it's more like £30,000-40,000- the equivalent of US$50-60,000. They have to be commissioned and each one is built by hand, with every single part (including the injection pump) made in house by RN.

[douro20]

These could possibly be the single most expensive production twin-cylinder engines in the world.

If you ran this engine this way in a boat and entered US waters you would be fined so heavily that your head would explode.

I would be very careful using ULO as fuel.

re buying

If you are buying consider a DM3 the price is a bit more but the peace this lovely engine gives you is well worth the extra, but have a direct drive off the engine to vehicle ( Lorry ) typeshaft direct to your prop.

[andywatson39]

Yes, you can still buy brand new ones built to order complete with marine gearbox, alternator, other anciliaries and warranty etc for about £20,000 incluiding tax

[TheChiefEngineer]

@andywatson39 I think they are dearer than that now.

[robmill54]
