Abstract: We have found new anisotropic vacuum solutions for the scale-invariant gravity theories which generalise Einstein's general relativity to a theory derived from the Lagrangian R1+delta. These solutions are expanding universes of Kasner form with an initial spacetime singularity at t=0 and exist for 1/2<delta<1/4 but possess different Kasner index relations to the classic Kasner solution of general relativity to which they reduce when delta=0. These solutions are unperturbed by the introduction of non-comoving perfect-fluid matter motions if p<ho on approach to the singularity and should not exhibit an infinite sequence of chaotic Mixmaster oscillations when delta>0.
