Found another video with some good period footage edited in with some more modern stuff.

Porsche - Diesel, the next most affordable Classic
Astonishing Chris! Reminds me of my youth spent with my father and brother inshore fishing. My brother bought a lovely Scottish fishing boat - a motorised fifie like the one here (but wihout sails) .
It had a gardner 4LW 64bhp diesel. Now before we saw it, we couldn't believe that 64 bhp was enough to propel a trawler. But this 4 cyl thing was huge, it rotated so slowly that each cylinder seemed to fire every hour!
Is reminiscing a sign of old age?

I work on narrowboats so quite often get grubby working on Gardners, amazingly there are still quite a few on the inland waterways.
You loose 10ft of your boat to have a 4cyl in there, beautiful engineering though.
