    'Guy needs your help.
    We're looking for an original Ricardo World War One tank engine (either working or in need of repair) for a restoration project. We are primarily looking for the 150 HP straight-six engine as seen in these photos but would also consider other Ricardo engines from that period. The engine doesn't need to be out of a tank, as the Ricardo engines were used for a range of applications, including agriculture. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of such an engine, please email info@guymartinproper.com
    Thanks very much!'
