About that red finish ....
In my Irvine catalogue (2000) it shows a parallel range of Irvine motors in the 40/46/53 sizes finished in a BLACK gloss coating ...
They are advertised as being the "quiet" series of these motors.
However, I have never seen one in the flesh, or seen one advertised, even by JustEngines.
Can anyone explain this? The black finish looked much more appealing than that "candy-apple" red they use.
(I still like the Irvines though - I hope they are still being made !)
Good news? Irvine have a web site
www.irvineltd.com
Bad news? It's not active yet (groan)
