It's unusual to find a 201-2 (potted motor and light at the front) in UK, but the serial number indicates  Kilbowie and January 1936 so likely that the motor is 240v.

They’re nic machines and rather niche, because of the direct drive motor. They’re supposed to be a little noisier, but a bit more powerful and no belts!

Not very common in the uk really
