Interesting find on EBAY

[jcuk]

Found this on Ebay, never seen this splitter model before, does anyone know the maker?  I don't need  another splitter, and looks like it needs some work,  maybe a good restoration project for someone -  just not me.

Hmm, a collection of unnecessarily complex forgings and castings that form a machine that performs a simple task. Every part is ungainly and badly proportioned but together, while certainly not pretty, it has a certain gawky beauty. Looks British to me.

Leyland ? Sounds like that description could fit a Marina. :) ..or an Allegro..apart ( in both those cases ) from the "gawky beauty" bit. :)
