All said and done why did they bother with the Sabre in the first place , was it around 1970 ? Anyway could this be AECs forward thinking being put back in its box by the Leyland hierachy after all if the V8 had have been successful the Sabre would surely have been ahead of its time
I might get flamed for this but might as well have put an AEC badge on an imported Greyhound bus with already proven Detroit power both two stroke and later 60 series then go for local production.But no the decision had already been taken to hand the domestic market over to the Euro competition.
