Up for auction is this MK 5 2.5cc Diesel as made by Taipan in Australia, circa 1961.
Although the motor has never been mounted and is un-run since it left South Australia all those years ago, the box and instructions are damaged and very "shop soiled" and showing all of those years.
Nothing is bent, broken or missing with strong compression as you would expect from a new motor, however there are some very minor blemishes to the crankcase and anodizing.
Interestingly this ...is the middle variant with the spacer behind the drive washer and the starting spring retained by the spray bar, however it has the last variant radiused 4 fin head.
Very hard to find in this excellent un-used condition.
Please view all images as they best depict the as new condition of this example of the only loop scavenged Taipan 2.5cc Diesel Gordon Burford ever made.
