This should be the Pace" model prior to yours unkie.

Note the Standard" from on the right has a 70cc this would be a 2V70 Series 2-villiers-70cc. The centre is a Mk3 98cc and the flagship is a villiers 7F (note the cowl on the 98cc,makes it easy to identify it as a Mk3 as the Mk2 engine did not come with provisions for a cowl.

Maybee your engine carried on to the series 3 and just isnt listed? I really dont know...I do know a Pace enthusiast,so if I can raise him maybee he can clarify it with correct Image.

Thanks mate, your efforts have been a great help! It's this kind of detective work that I love about this hobby. I've tried to remain solely a Victa collector, but this interest in Villiers has really broadened my interests. I've even got an opportunity to get my hands on a Champion like the one pictured on the left, in serious need of restoration, but am unsure what a fair price would be to offer. Any thoughts? Are they collectible/rare/desirable?

sorry to go a little off topic but just came accros this post after searching about villiers midget engines. I have an alex grahame rotary mower which am going to restore and spied an alex grahame to the left of the picture, any chance you have some more info on the mower? Mine is missing the muffler and air filterand am searching for these items if anyone is willing to part with them? The mower is in storage back home at the moment will start restor in the next month or two and will start a thread if my own.

thanks in advance
matt

Sorry Chemist, I've no info at all on the AG as it appeared at a rally day I think. There is bound to be a forum member with info - maybe try one of the other threads. Good luck with your search

Thankyou John, I had re-read this thread before posting the question but missed the reference to the 266X in your previous post.

Once again fishngurudes, to OutdoorKing.

hello, engine spec. 240x should be a mk3 midget engine,supplied to Taplin. I have no idea
who taplin was or what they supplied. it was fitted with a v148x3e air filter and a
b118au/1 cowl. regards,john

Seems as though it the cylinder was 180 degrees around it could fit a motor bike. Sorry best photos I have too.

Going back to the earlier pics , the crankcases marked 764 I believe are a Villiers 79 cc supplied only to Atco for reel mowers between about 1949 and 1960. Rope or kick start, 1454 type mower.

I have an incomplete Villiers Torque Major engine, type 140/01/09, serial 130480. What were the standard fitments on this engine?

Hi All

Just throwing in another engine number if any one can help Villiers 7F No.. is 119D 13380 engine is on a Pace 2A automatic, does this mean that because it doesn't have an X but a D instead it is imported or am I reading the posts incorrectly.

thanks mich

Hi Mich
That's the way I read it.

I found this note at the end of a 7F listings doc: -



Hope this helps

Thanks for your help Jack

Not sure if you have seen the pic at the bottom of this web page:
https://salterbros.com.au/villiers-australia/

I didn't copy the pic due to copyright

Australia must have a lot of 7F's floating around if this is only 1 load.

Hi Mich
I remember I did a lot of research when I wrote this article: -

These images appeared in Villiers Magazine, and copyright
is no longer in issue.

Hi Jack

I was pretty sure you would have seen the pic, I don't know why I didn't look in History Forum thank for pointing me to it.

I noticed in a villiers manual that engines could be dated and spec'd by the engine number, do you know if there is a listing anywhere for this as I haven't been able to find anything.

thanks

mich
