Charlie Haycock Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Thanks for that but I am a member and only one member roughly knows what magneto should be on it. This seems to be the only one with a magneto most have trembler coils. Plenty info on 4 cylinders but not 2! Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 There was another Scot on here several years back who had a lengthy thread going on Argylls. Think he was an Argyll descendant. You might try a search on "Argyll" to find it. *** Found it *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Haycock Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Thanks Rocketraider for that. It seems that everything goes to the bigger Argyll engines. I will keep looking and hopefully something will turn up. Charlie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Haycock Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 Hi Terry, I have been to Glamis a few times. I have managed to enlist one of our friends who is going to VCC head office where he is going to look at the dating data of the car and hopefully he will find pictures of the mag etc. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Charlie Hi Charlie, I'm the member Rocketraider mentioned 'Argyll', I've been researching the Argyll Motor Co. for a number of years and built up information about the cars and the company, but I will mention its not comprehensive. I'm happy to look through my files and photographs to see what I have on 2-cylinder engines and get back to you if you're still looking for info. What would be helpful is a photograph of your engine so I know what I'm looking for if possible? Argyll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Haycock Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 Hi, That would be a great help if you could check your files. We are actually stuck at the moment due to the car being fitted with the wrong magneto we think. It is a 1910 Argyll two seater,UK registration LU 5684 Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyll Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Hi Charlie, Would this be Archie's recently bought Argyll? 'Argyll' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Haycock Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 Yes that is correct. Did you send an attachment? Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyll Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Hi Charlie, Thanks, I visited Archie not long after he got it and took pictures so that'll help. I'll go my stuff tonight and see what I can find. I didn't attach anything in my last post, I thought about it, but I decided to confirm it was Archie's Argyll first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Haycock Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 Thanks for that picture. As you can see the magneto is not correct as there is no advance-retard to help the engine run correctly. We are struggling to find a correct magneto for this car in U K. If you know of anyone selling one over with you could you be kind and let me know. It should be a Bosch DU 2 probably a model 5 or 6 with an advance-retard ring and lever. Look forward to hearing from you. Charlie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyll Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Hi Charlie, Just as you mentioned there isn't a lot about 10hp 2-cylinder engine Argylls, this catalogue page (attached) is all I have on the model which might be of a little help. The VCCGB as you commented earlier is probably the best source of info unless you can find another owner of a 2-cylinder, if I remember correctly the VCCGB lists member's who own Argylls in their membership records.
