David , all my life I’ve had a love affair with twostrokes , and still to this day love getting my Howard 700s out , if nothing more than to hear that lovely sound , I also have a Holder E6 with a Sachs 201 twostroke.beutiful machine.
On the subject of Wartburgs , in my youth we used one for night time Rabbit shooting , sounded lovely and would go almost anywhere.
The Villiers you mention does rev higher than the Blackburne fourstroke , remember that at the age in question Villiers of this type were designed as motorcycle units , although some (eg Atco mowers) did find their way into some industrial uses.
