[George Albright]

Dear Friends :Selling my 1904 Brennan 2 cylinder 8-12 HP watercooled project for a racer speedster or even a touring car. Brennan started selling their own frames exactly like this in the fall of 1904. They showed these frames at the N.Y. Auto show the week of Jan. 15th 1905. ( see early 1905 Brennan ad showing this frame and engine set up,enclosed) Frame,and pair of seats removed from the Brennan factory in the 1950s by the shop forman. I acquired this engine at the Olds/GM engine sale in Dec. of 2011. It is quite nice inside and out. This exact engine began showing up in trade publication ads beginning July of 1904.(see enclosed). It is stamped #31 on the rod and rod cap,so its fairly easy to presume this is engine #31,and thus made in fall of 1904. From end of motor to end of motor is 32 inches. End of valve cage to end of valve cage at the very ends of the motor's heads is 37-38 inches. Outside diameter of lower half of jug is 5 inches. Thus bore is around 4 1/2 to 4 3/4 inches. Planetary transmission on the motor,that drives a chain back to a chain drive axle which I do NOT have. However period shaft drive axle removed from a running car included for trading material. NOS period radiator.Red wheels are 30 x 3 Midgleys removed from a restored 1905 Cadillac. They are very rare and worth $1,000 each,and correct for this vehicle. Other wheels included to remove hubs from. All the enclosed parts are period to the car. Main things missing are four 36 x 1 1/2 inch simi elliptical springs,rear spring hangers,some pedals,a chain drive rear axle,and a hood. All parts excellent. Will make a superb racer car speedster or racer. POSSIBLY London To Brighton eligible with this engine and frame,but I will NOT guarantee it.Price for the project is $14,800 firm. No trades. USA or worldwide shipping avail. Lots of photos by email to serious parties,just ask.George Albright,Ocala,Fla. cell 352 843 1624 Email; gnalbright@gmail.com<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
