      Hi all

      I have recently been tasked with collecting data for British Seagull model SJP’s, and need your help!!! I am collecting the data relating to these motors so we ( on the Saving Old Seagulls website) can narrow down exact production runs and minor changes in these motors that came out.

      If you would be kind enough to shoot me an email on ausobcollector (@) gmail (dot) com then I can specify via that the info I need regarding your motor.

      Thanks very much and Cheers

        do you expect a lot of these models in the US ?
        I have my doubts, but…..you never know

          Kees,

          I know that there are definitely some Seagulls in the US, with the SJP being the most common (I assume) because of the long production run etc.

          I’m sure you have an SJP or two lurking with your Marstons? 😉

          Cheers

            BP, I have SPJ L 40 plus that was manufactored in Feb 1964. I converted it to a OMC coil, but will convert it back to Villiers coil when get to ordering one on ebay. So many motors, so little time lately.

            Edit:
            Opps, my bad. I thought you stated SPJ……..but it looks like you want SJP 😳 😳 😳 😳 😳

              Hi all

              Just a bump up and reminder…
              I am collecting data of SJP model British Seagull 40 + motors for Saving Old Seagulls so it is possible for us to narrow down when in the production run they changed things like

              – fuel cap design
              – fuel tank design
              – cyl. block design and many more

              All I need from you is a couple of pictures of your SJP model Seagull and the serial number; I can get most, if not all, data from those.

              So if you have one of these motors please email me on ausobcollector (@) gmail.com

              Thanks and cheers

                Pretty sure I have an early 60’s SJPL among the dozen or so gulls at home. Will try to remember to take photographs next time I get there. SJP’s are fairly rare in the US, the the later FP coded engines are much more common. I don’t think they were imported here until late 1950’s.
