In 1978 I drove a 1910a tray with a 392, 13 spd rr, bogie drive, power steering and a heater to boot[ch58373]
I thought I was it and a bit after doing my apprenticeship on beddies, d series fords, leylands and other old jiggers.
Even with a dog trailer hooked up it pulled harder than a 14 year old schoolboy. Wasn't the fastest thing on the road as the odd snail would overtake me occasionally!
Of course it would drink more than a bunch of sailors on shore leave!

What about the bloody noises that came out of the 610/613RR when in wobbly cog at idle? Those petrol motors didnt produce a lot of torque at idle speed.
