I'm trying to get hold of a Villiers Mk12, manufactured in England, to go with my Australian made one - I have Aussie and UK made Mk10s, and now I want a English Mk12 to go with my Aussie made Mk12.

Anyone got one they haven't got time to work on and would consider getting rid of?

Hi Ian,
Are there many differences between the two, or is one just a clone of the other...presuming, of course that they both are the same model without the add-ons for different uses?
Thanks mate,
cheers

The photos are Mark 20/25's. To my knowledge the differences between the UK and Ozzie made Mark 12's would be the name plate on the cowl.The Ballarat engines have 109X stamped on the ID Plate and the same engine from the UK is numbered 875A
