“Museum Quality” 110 Le Rhone Rotary Engine Offered For Sale

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A Le Rhone rotary engine described as “museum quality” has hit the market. The listing states (in part):

This Le RHONE Model 9J 110 hp rotary engine was manufactured December 29, 1917 for the US WW1 war effort. I assume it was made in France but other manufacturers also built this engine. Amongst others this Le Rhone engine powered the Sopwith Camel, the Focker including the triplane and the Vicker. This engine could possibly be rebuilt and be up in the air again. I am not a pilot nor a mechanic, so to me it is a museum piece for my man cave. It is time for someone else to enjoy my engine – wish it could talk – for it has unknown provenance.

I believe it is in excellent shape. Cooling fins are generally fine. It wheels on its stand and the engine turns easily. It stands about 4′ high on the stand and is about 40″ in circumference but only about 18″-24″ wide. It weighs approximately 330 lbs so it would be expensive to ship. I am going to let the buyer arrange shipping, but I will assist as much as I can. Pick up may be the best option. I have moved it easily on it’s stand up a small incline onto a trailer with two strong guys.

The engine is located in Raleigh, NC and is currently available for bidding. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay.
