Up for auction is this quite rare MK 6 Taipan BR.
Owing its design influence to the Frog 249 in both the use of the "slot over slot" porting arrangement and the same size ballraces front and rear, this Taipan dates from about 1962.
This is the 2nd variant with the extended head hold-down blisters, waisted prop driver and un-anodized head.
It does not appear to have ever been mounted or run since it left South Australia more than half a century ago.
Although... there is some oxidation here and there (which could be polished out) the motor is almost mint.
It turns over smoothly with excellent compression.
Very difficult to obtain in such exceptional condition and would make a fine addition to any collection.
Please view all images as they depict the exceptional condition of this rare engine from Australia's master maker, Gordon Burford.
Please note that for multiple buys of my items I will combine post. Please request an invoice before payment.
