[QUOTE="Villiers, post: 70446, member: 2183"] Thank you all for your replies and particularly the photos. It does look a lot better than the photo I initially mentioned and the rarity shelf photo is even more interesting. Can I ask some further questions? Firstly, both Excelsior and SOS also catalogued machines with the same water cooled engine. The upper water connection from head to radiator was a one piece casting on the Excelsior, whereas SOS installed a rubber hose insert. How is it on the 'W'? Solid or with a length of water hose as per SOS. Secondly, the engine number prefix ID on the Excelsior is RYEF, does the Model 'W' use the same or different? Thirdly, the flywheel on the rarity shelf engine does not appear to be a Villiers factory item. Any thoughts on this? Thanks a lot from a sad obsessive Villiers nut. [/QUOTE]
