Great, it’s good to see the new engines with the detailed iconic D32 governor.
@ Nick, I am not worried about the value of my engine knowing that it’s worth much more than my asking price. The D32 is a solid beast of an engine, but it doesn’t fit in my pre WWII collection.

Those three pictures of D32 governors, the top and middle ones look like the D32 governor.
That one in the bottom pic looks like all of my Wilesco governors on D16, 20, and the 24.
Is that what your D32 has on it Mike?

Hi, this is the governor on my engine below. I am hoping to take photos and a short clip tomorrow afternoon.

Don´t know why he lists that at €2688.88, when Wilesco has them at €2400?

...but of course you wouldn´t have to wait 6 weeks to get it this way  8)

Nobody gets that governor, that picture has to be of the prototype.
Already in 2018, when they reintroduced the D32 at Nürnberg Toy Fair, it had the classic D32 governor in place.

Folks, I've just bought a brand new D32 from a dealer in Australia (they still have 2 more in stock). I asked if they could send me photos of the unit and a close-up of the governor to see if I get the simple version or the old-style complex unit.

My D32 is #367 btw.

Happy man here!
