The Detroit engine was a totally different way of driving compared to what the poms were used to which is why they never caught on. The 290 hp Rolls-Royce would've gone okay. Was that turbo or supercharged?
Noisy fuming engine in a much more densely populated country? No I don't think that was the way forward. We had 2 local regular trucks with Detroit. Exciting to hear for the first few times and not heard often enough to be a nuisance. I can't imagine what it would have been like in large numbers. More of a shame that Leyland, Gardner and Rolls all slipped away due to many reasons.
Love this. I drove recovery version when i was in the army. Beautiful piece of machinery
My grandpa when I was young haves the same crusader 😍 beautiful memories
