British Leyland

[Grumph]

Yes, but if you read carefully, it is the very rare one with the 54 litre engine.

That would account for the hundred grand buy now, then.....

WTF... its a old run down holden... http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...1076544572.htm

IF it's a genuine Bathurst model it's getting into the 'collectible' catagory, very collectible.

Still not a Leyland though....

Rubbish is collectable, I know this because I have a rubbish collector.

Guy in Canada who runs the Laverda forum restored one of those. Only the firewall and transmission tunnel were rust free...I told him that was just like a Mk2 Jag...The oil keeps those bits mint.

LANZ Bulldog

Found out recently that they were 2 strokes and the last one may have been made in the 60's. Didn't know they went on for that long.

I recall thinking that at idle, the piston is stationary and the tractor shakes backwards and forwards.

You could be the proud owner of this fine example of british auto design......

The Lanz Bulldog was a tractor manufactured by Heinrich Lanz AG in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Production started in 1921 and various versions of the Bulldog were produced up to 1960. John Deere purchased Lanz in 1956 and started using the name "John Deere-Lanz" for the Lanz product line. A few years after the Bulldog was discontinued the Lanz name fell into disuse.

The Bulldog was a simple and easily maintained vehicle due primarily to its simple, single cylinder, horizontal, two-stroke, hot bulb engine. Initially the engine was a 6.3 litre, 12 horsepower unit, but as the Bulldog evolved the engine was increased to 10.3 litres and 55 horsepower.

The hot-bulb engine (also hotbulb or heavy-oil engine) is a type of internal combustion engine. It is an engine in which fuel is ignited by being brought into contact with a red-hot metal surface inside a bulb, followed by the introduction of air (oxygen) compressed into the hot-bulb chamber by the rising piston. There is some ignition when the fuel is introduced, but it quickly uses up the available oxygen in the bulb. Vigorous ignition takes place only when sufficient oxygen is supplied to the hot-bulb chamber on the compression stroke of the engine. Most hot-bulb engines were produced as one-cylinder, low-speed two-stroke crankcase scavenged units
