This Lockwood Chief is up for sale here, it’s a 92B. It’s had an honest repair to the cylinder water jackets and is not seized, but I know nothing more about it’s history, or (bar the lack of wiring / ignition) what it might be missing in the way of parts. We’ve valued it at about 120 US. There isn’t the market here vs. the US – primarily due to a lack of freshwater lakes for motor boating and few planing boats of that period, or aluminium boats suitable for such hp. I am tempted to buy it, as I have a few pre-war twins in the 13hp to 22.5hp range, but I think it needs to be a fair price for the owner who needs it gone to a good home.
What are the downsides to owning and using this model and are used parts and cylinders, still available?
