Motor Roller
A club member sent me the image below. He was wondering what engine might have been in it originally - perhaps a small Ford or Austin maybe?
Does anyone have any ideas or perhaps further information about the roller and its age and so on? Please post a reply if you can help.

Hi Keith
That roller is a Pioneer made by Pattisons,it looks 1950's,they came in many different sizes,so had many different engines which included Ford with cintilla magnetos.The pre war Pioneers which were made by Pattisons were also badge engineered to Greens of Leeds.The Pioneer badge should sit on the front shroud top.
Hope this helps as a start
