De Dion in I.C.U. (UPDATE)

Just a few weeks ago we received this photo from Roland Johansson (Sweden). He is the owner of this De Dion Bouton single. Note the upside down bottle for dripfeeding in the upper right corner. Johan is asking for technical drawings to save the life of this engine. Now normally we would direct a question like this to a specific club. De Dion Bouton had this great website, presumably owned and fettled by a Simon Kirkpatrick. But now the website has vanished (at least the content) already for some time. So if anyone saw a virtual De Dion passing by or can tell us about the wherabouts of De Dion Dotcom's content, please let us know through [email protected]. >>>>> UPDATE 2. Simon Kirkpatrick writes: The site has been undergoing a major rework, and I expect it will be back shortly, with much more De Dion information available for free download.
UPDATE 1. by Bas de Voogd: Austin Parkinson, is currently THE supplier of early Dion Bouton parts and may also have the info Roland is looking for(tel. in GB (0044) 01403-752225 or fax 01403-753856). Just a remark: I do not believe that the ignition or the carburettor are 100% right for this single cylinder. (photo Roland Johanson)
