Thornycroft RJ2

Hia,

 

I am finally getting round to taking out my very rare thornycroft RJ2, she is a rare beast and was made in 1937. There are only about 4 or 5 of them in the country. Not sure when it will be out but hoping sooner rather than latter. Could be the perfect engine for a collector so will be on the market very soon.

 

Drop me a line on shane@fragments.ie or call me on 078 777 16702

No. She was for sale back in 2003 when we were looking for a boat. I fell in love with her, mostly because of her engine. We arranged with the owner to take her out on the river, and I got her onto a gravel shoal

 

It was a good warning - we would have struggled with her on our local canals, so we didn't buy her

 

I got the impression Will Try was a boat built around an engine, what with the location at the stern and the full height firewall
