Did I mention that V8 belonged to AEC / Leyland before they sold it to Scania.
They had it in the Mandator tractor units tied to an auto box, what a pity they missed the opportunity.

Twenty years ago Dad had a couple of lorries and we used to haul for a local feed firm. These trucks were in most days bringing pot ale syrup from the distilleries in Scotland. Lovely fleet.

Also saw this old beast parked at the track, it could probably tell a story or two.
