Hi Jerry

The crawler has an English Ransomes Simms & Jeffries air cooled, 600cc 
single cylinder engine with dry sump and automatic centrifugal clutch 
going to a 4:1 gearbox.  It does the work of 2 horses at 3mph - or so it 
says in the hand book.  Reg might disagree with that, eh, Reg??

Hopefully, next weekend will be the first trip out for the MG5, to a 
local working weekend.
