Haha, you can all take the p*ss regarding the spec but, as I said previously, I have actually worked on one. They were fitted with a ■■■■■■■ 150 coupled to a Turner six speed box with an Eaton two speed backend, power steering was included as you couldn’t expect BRS lads to grapple with manual handlebars! They went well, but the braking system rather let them down as they had the same brakes as the 30cwt BMC trucks. Drivers complained about this to the fitting staff but were told in no uncertain terms “we are paid to make 'em go, not to make them stop” so they were restricted to 15 mph top speed as that was deemed to be safest.They were soon replaced by ex Co-oP dairy milk floats.

Pete, the unit and trailer seem to have identical axles and wheels… were they interchangeable?
