Default 4" Burrell single crank road roller

I have decided that I need to part with my Burrell single crank compound road roller.
The engine is build to a very high standard and portrays the original so well that photos of the motion have been used as examples in a book on engine driving.

Since I have owned the engine it has been tested each year by Jonathan Wheeler, it now has its own written scheme and had its ten year hydraulic test two years ago. It passed its latest boiler Tuesday 14th September and comes with a 14 month ticket until November 2011. It steams well is a true compound and the safety valves lift at 150lb, the engine has been regularly shown since it has been in my ownership and is farley well travelled and always draws interest and appreciative comments . I am 16 stone and the front rolls and headstock means i cannot lift the front end I have not weighted her but I think she comes in around 12 cwt, the weight and the thick rolls means she sounds the part on a hard road.
The engine has been road tested by Mike Dyson for the Old Glory magazine and there are some excellent photos in the article

I am asking £23k or near offer. The engine gives you an opportunity to acquire one of the best miniature road rollers to be seen on the rally field today.

The engine can be seen in steam by prior arrangement.

Stuart.

Bringing this back to the top. This lovely little roller is still available.
Be different.
Do not have your entry to a rally refused again.
Have rally organisers knocking at your door begging you to bring your engine to their rally.

The roller will come with a new boiler test when sold.

Asking price £15,500.00 ovno.

PM for more info.

Come and have a test drive and you will take it away.
