Villiers was started by John Marston & Son of Sunbeam in
1898, in Villiers Street, Wolverhampton. There is an excellent history
of Villiers here
Motorcycle manufacturers the world over utilised Villiers engines.
A partial list is included below:
One of their more interesting engines was a horizontally opposed twostroke
twin which was used in a DMW and in the Velocette Viceroy scooter.

spares to Sweden
Villers 197cc Villiers 197cc 1950
Hello! I am trying to find spares for a Villiers 197cc. I wonder if
you have a list of spareparts (both new and used)that you can mail me?
In particular I am looking for a kickstarter, the electrical system and
carburatorparts. What do you estimate the cost for shipping to Sweden would
be? If you can't help me -do you know of any other firm that might be able
to assist me?
Sincerely, Kurt-Ove

From the wayback machine:
Villiers 31C/2L/3L/9E/10E/11E/21A/33A/34A/35A/36A/37A
This is more or less the engine fitted to my 1966 Greeves Anglian (24TGS).
The Anglian used the 37A engine, which has an alloy barrel and head made
by Greeves and is covered in a seperate parts book. Villiers engines were
also used in many other british lightweights.

Villiers Junior Delux engine - spare parts
villiers Junior delux 98cc
My name is Paul Chesher and I am the proud owner of a Malvern Star
Autocycle that is powered by a Villiers Engine - Junior deluxe 98cc.
I have been restoring it for a number of years and am nearly finished.
I need some bits to complete the project and I was hoping that you could
point me in the right direction to buying the bits I need. These are:
o Compression release valve mechanism
o Head – I have a head but I may need a new head to ensure the release
valve mechanism fits correctly. (I suspect the stud pattern will
be the same)
o Clutch mechanism (bridge, lever adjuster etc)
That will get me going and later on I will need a headlight etc.
Can you help me?
Cheers

Villiers Midget
Villiers used the term "Midget" to cover a wide range of 98cc engines,
including industrial engines. Tell us the full engine number and we can
possibly tell you what sort of Midget you have. Bob

I have just finished restoring a Villiers Midget.And I am now trying
to find out what Motorcycles or Autocycles it was used in.Regards Martin
Brisbane
The Midget engine was used in the Swedish Rex
marque, and in numerous motor mowers. It was also used in the Rytecraft
Scootacar built by the British Motor Boat Manufacturing Company in King's
Cross, London from 1934 until sometime before the outbreak of WWII. These
diminutive beasties were capable, on a good day, of a scorching 15mph.
