Is it coz of the age its so expensive or was it really special? It looked like gas because of the sparkplug.

+1^ got to the link. This is a very historic motor here. A piece of model engine memorabilia here $$$$$.

read this passage that was up earlier in the story

"Naturally, the tuning gurus of the day soon turned their attention towards the Dooling. Following an initial effort with his own racing "Special" based upon the Nordec 10 cc model, the legendary tuner Fred Carter soon came up with his own Dooling 61-based "special", which actually ended up more Carter than Dooling. Using this engine, Davenport established a new British record of over 160 mph at the British National Championship meet held at Cambridge. Further success followed when Carter teamed up with Ray Gibbs to establish a British mark of over 146 mph using the 5 cc Carter Special based on the Dooling 29. This was later topped by the establishment of a new 5 cc world record at 152 mph."

This was in a plane but still impressive for 40 plus years ago the dooling 61 also pushed hydros to 70 mph. Sorry its not gas. The plug in the photo threw me off.
