Hi
I have a part of a motorcycle frame with an engine, the engine is a Villiers B3833  580/9694, on the cylinder base is V3 and T66, this is a twin port engine with a hand change gearbox, it appears to be a unit construction, is it possible to get the age of this engine and possibly the make of bike it is the remains of
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Cannot help with the Villiers but can you tell us a little (or post some pics) about the fine looking lathe in the backround?

R:
Your Villiers is a 9D, a unit construction usually 125cc (they can be 100cc ?)
starting in the mid/late 1930s, and continuing on after the war.


Previous discussion here sez that 580 signifies it was fitted to an Excelsior.
