It is a Turner V-twin diesel engine 18hp, but it is not one I have ever
seen at shows etc. Does this mean it is a boring engine, or a rare
one?! Any ideas on the age of this engine?
I have found out nothing about this engine over the last 20years or so,
I have done some searches, and I only seem to come up with 'Stewart
Turner' - which does not seem to be related.
Any info highly appreaciated. Thanks for any help

Seems like it was made by
Turner Diesels
Wulfrana Works
Villiers St
Wolverhampton
"while the V twin-cylinder engine was rated at 15bhp. A feature of the
Turner diesel engine was the unusual angle of the cylinders, being set at 68
deg."
" It is usually possible to date a Turner diesel engine from the serial
number, the last three or four digits of the number indicate the month and
year ie. 1049 would be October 1949"
I'm sure there are more knowledgeable people on here who would be able to
give you more info rather than quotes as I have.

I'm not knowledgeable, but I have seen a couple of them, even done
minor work on one, and took one out of a boat & replaced it with a
Gardner 2L2!
ISTR Turners became part of Rubery Owen, or maybe another large
engineering outfit. There are a few around.
A bit like a British motorbike, OK when it's running, sounds quite
nice (unusual might be a better word in this case), but tends to throw
a lot of oil around.

Same Co. as the Turner 'Yeoman of England' tractor with its V4 diesel?

The one and same!
The Yeoman cost about twice as much as a Fordson, and had serious
problems with transmission breakages, though the the later marks did
have improvements in the engines so that they started from cold.
Incidentally, ISTR the basic design was done by Arthur
Freeman-Saunders, late of Lister and Fowler.
The vee twin version of the engine does sound lovely when working, and
despite the rather unusual 68 degree angle of the vee, it is pretty
smooth.

On no particular evidence, I think it is another of those Cinderella
engines - quite a few about but doesn't often get to go out. This doesn't
mean it's "boring" just that given the choice of taking the Turner or a
'classic' open crank engine, most choose the latter. IMHO this is a shame as
I believe that variety is the most important factor of any rally and I would
no more like to see a line up consisting entirely of open cranks than I
would, say, Lister D's.

Auction. All, along with much else, were bought by a chap with an
incomprehensible brogue and a large hy-ab lorry. Last seen heading for
Swansea docks. I would have liked one but they went too high for me.
enjoy your weekend

me the picture of the Turner vee twin exhibited at Astle Park (I wish I
had gone!)
The serial number of this engine is 2V1 4809 349 - so I guess this is a
1949 engine.
Many thanks for all your help.

My brother-in-law has one (my father in law has about 20-odd assorted
tractors). The Yeoman starts pretty easily too - much easier to crank
over than a Field Marshal.

Rover?
If my memory serves me correctly, according to a 1950's book on
Automotive diesels that I still have but can't find, it was a two
stroke twin cylinder. Anyone offer further?

I had one. 2 litre I think. Can't remember if it was two or four stroke but
definitely supercharged. You couldn't put your pint pot on the front wing
though on tickover, it would have jumped off.

They did do a 2-stroke diesel which was fitted to land rovers (or so I
have read somewhere). More than that I know not.

15vyears late, but do you still have this plate in your possession? I would
like to see an image, and possibly even purchase it from you.
Kind regards,
