Post by: Jean on March 24, 2011, 10:17:57 am

I have received the following email, can anyone help Piero please?

excuse me if I disturb.
I have found on ebay a "chain differential microcar british anzani berkeley " item n° 280645150876.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280645150876&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123
Do you think that this differential can fit my Berkeley T 60 whit a 328 cc twin talisman engine?.
Best regards, piero.

I'm not posative but I think the dif is the same used on both the anzarni motor and the excelsior, after all its not part of the engine. The Berkeley enthusiasts club would be the ones to ask.  BECMembership@gmail.com  They may not be very helpful unless you join though.

Bob believe or not it was Nigel Halliday of the BEC who sent the request on to me !!!!!

If it fits the three speed Anzani then it will fit the Excelsior that end surely.  The mounting looks like its the same girt doughnut job so I would say that it was worth a punt. The worst is that a couple of parts might be different. As to what it came from I do not know if any other car used the same diff as a Berkeley, who made it, Albion? Anzani fan cool is going to be something like an Opperman Punicar isn't it. I think the factory constructed were Anzani and the kits Excelsior or some such something. Jarc Van was Anzani, or was it the Astra, I forget? Might be early boat installation but then the gearbox would be an addition instead of a transfer box.

I know for a very fine original but restored SA322 Berkeley should anyone be desirous.
