[SEL] 16 HP Ronaldson Bros & Tippet Video

[Russell Gilbert]

G'day Arnie old mate.  A local member of our club owns a 25hp 
portable. I heard it was one of 2 survivers?? It is currently under 
restoration. I have seen it, wow it is one big heavy mother! If you 
can imagine Daves being a 1/2 to 1/3 scale model it would give you an 
idea :-) I must get over there again soon and see how it's coming 
along. It  must be real close as it was originally going to make it 
to the last National Rally in Murray Bridge
