Beautiful rebuild job! Gardner engines are magnificent, quiet and reliable. Thank you for sharing this.

What a great Gardner diesel engine, so well build and running so smooth. This is a machine to last the time. Great restore job.

If they are still making diesel engines in a 100 years time they won't be as reliable , long lasting and as fuel efficient as a GARDNER.

Never a truer word has been written.

For those familiar with river boats - I'm not sure if I would name a yacht 'Sultana'.

I'm so sorry for stop producing Gardiner engine it is very strong and save fuel if we are comparing by new modern engine.

Do be very careful or you will end up 'raisin' her fro the deep. I have a feeling in my water though all will be well. My eyes are rather blurred at the moment, can't think why. Pass the Brasso.
