Hi
If you look under my other post Wrigley autotruck with Villiers Mk25 engine there are some pictures.

Hi Any idea of where the chassis number might be on a Wrigley. Thanks

One other thing-
The flywheel outer rim has a long string of numbers/ letters on it . The last two are the date.
This is a 1954 model. I think that sounds right?
Cheers

Thanks for the info Andy.
I suspected it was a MK25
Apparently this one was supposedly used on the Railways to transport luggage?

Hi Again
I have attached some close ups of the engine. The only ID mark I can make out on the engine is AM189 and Villiers made in England. The engine is approx 15 inches high from sump to top of the head. The head size is 5 inches x 6 inches square with a barrel depth of approx 4.5 inches – what engine is this and what is its ccs ( Mk25 ??) I have enclosed some better pictures. It has an Albion 3 speed gearbox slung underneath. Help and advice with road registering would be helpful – although I have already talked to the DVLA and it seems fairly straight forward (They are sending me documentation). It would be nice to get an age related registration otherwise it might have to be a Q plate if I cant pin down the year of manufacture? Thanks steve

Thanks for the info Guys.
I have freed off the decompressor valve I can now operate it temporarily by pushing it down with a screw driver ? The engine starts easily. Does anybody know the age of this engine and consequently the age of the Wrigley it is attached too. I am still not 100% sure its a MK25 ? is it a Mk 40 – I dont know? It doesnt have the usual engine cowling with the data on it ( lost in time ). As I want to road register this eventually ( Yes you can do it as a vintage Tractor ) I need to date this machine as accurately as possible. Anyone know where Wrigley put their chassis number ( if they did ) Thanks Steve.
