Re: [pip_squeak_and_wilfred] Villers type 28 engine

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.

For motorcycles The number system is simply chronological, the letter designates the engine size. I don't know the industrial engine system.   So, "F"...
