I have a couple of original Radiguet engines. If I were you, I would stay away from this heavily modified machine. It has many original parts, but also many freelance after market machined pieces. I would not consider this machine as a Radiguet, but a machinist machine, it lost its identity, and historical original value.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Mike.
Not everyone cares about originality or historical value.
And of course it all depends on the price. 🤠
Charlie, I agree with you that beauty is in the eye of the beholder; and I responded to Arnold’s questions about originality.
Now to my personal taste and opinion, I cannot stand a highly invasive modification such as this one. This machine can now be called anything but Radiguet.
Over the years, I witnessed on several forums over restorations that are literally ugly, and I’ve chosen not to comment at all to avoid hurting the restorer/owner feelings.
