Hi ODK members,

The myth is that Villiers was 'the 2-stroke manufacturer'.
In fact, Villiers main Australian market was for agricultural and industrial 4-strokes.

In this January 1, 1957 advertisement from the Sun-Herald Villiers shows its Australian line-up.
2-stroke: MK 2G, 3G, 5G, 2M, 3M, 7F and 25C.
4-stroke: MK 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, and 40.

Nonetheless, the 7F 2-stroke was meant to be the 'Victa killer'!
Superbly designed and styled, the 7F remains for me the quintessential 2-stroke engine of the era.

All very interesting.
