Hello Don,
According to Jack Sizer's Villiers book, the 1955 type 28B was an industrial engine of 353cc, and a two stroke. In 1974, Villiers produced type C28 which was again an industrial unit, a four stroke of 256cc.
Villiers' numbering system is an enigma to me. We do have a couple of New Hudson Autocycles with Villiers 2F engines, and I just love the sweet way they run. The 2F is single speed, but the 1F is 2speed. It must have made sense to someone at the time.
Alan
