Beautifull engine!

Tony Redshaw can supply most Gardners, either restored or as projects.

They also produce some excellent parts for marinising and Original spares also.

Gorgeous. I own a 3L2 which has outlived the 1936 wooden boat it has powered for all these years and is about to be removed, unsure of the future for the engine, but it's only 150 hrs after a total mechanical rebuild and has lots and lots of life in it yet. Nice to see another out there.

@abdc2103 Hello the best quality Gardners I have ever seen are from Walshes Engineering in Manchester, if they dont have one they can put you on to a reputable exsperienced engineer who can sort you with one
