Rayburn Regent (Solid Fuel)
 Rayburn Regent Early Model |
 Rayburn Regent Later Model |
Introduced in 1958, the Regent took over as a direct replacement for the Rayburn No 1, with which it shared many of the same features, such as the 'drop down' style door handles and the single oven, with fluted lower front plate. A one piece insulating cover was initially available as an extra, later becoming standard. It was the smallest size of the Rayburn family.
A re-styled flue chamber was
provided, but the flue damper remained below the hob, with an indicator
registering on the back-plate. The fire-grate was circular.
It was available with or without a hot-water boiler and with a left or right-handed oven, also available were optional extras such as the splash back, plate-rack, and a plinth to raise by the height by 6 inches. The standard boiler was plain cast iron, with the option of having it glass lined (enamelled) or of copper construction.
During the 1970's the door handles were changed to the horizontal pattern and the flue damper was brought up above the hob, with a redesigned flue chamber.
By 1988, the left-hand oven option was discontinued.
Production finally ceased by the mid 1990's.
