The black and red Marathon A95HBU was a motor I had when I worked on boxes for Ossie Inghams, it had only been on the road for about 6mths, Ossie it bought it new and put it in store for a few years. It was a 290 Big Cam ■■■■■■■ with the 9 speed Fuller, it pulled like a train but wasn’t the best at stopping.
