Hi Guys,
I was pleasantly surprised to hear that an INDIAN COMPANY has bought the IRVINE ENGINE rights from Ripmax last month.
Ripmax acquired the same from Mr Irvine senior's son 2 years ago. Mr Irvine was a keen modeller himself in Southgate, London.
He provided a free check up service to all engines whereby only parts changed were charged for together with return postage, no labour.
(Saying that my near perfect engine that just needed tweeking a bit at the lower needle setting had both bearings and prop supporting aluminum washer replaced when it was sent for investigating why it kept stalling... so you see nothing is free in this world)
As some of you might be aware the recent (upto 4 year old red engines) red engines were all made by OS. The older red engines that have "Made in England " stamped on them are the ones made by Irvine in UK.
My congratulations to the entrepreneur....
Who is it??? Please do advise, thanks and best of luck.
