I think we know what his choice would be, an 8V92 for the win, with Rolls Royce Eagle as reserve champion and an honourable mention or the Leyland TL12.
Very similar to the one I put behind my lawn mower to pick molehills.

The gas turbine is broken.
I saw/heard it once in Leeds.
A short lived experiment
I know what’s wrong with it too. The jets are pointing the wrong way.

When I was on milk collection, I met the Castrol gas turbine, without it’s trailer, on a back road between Oswestry and Baschurch. It always struck me as odd giving them to oil tankers, considering the heat that must have been produced from the turbine in such close proximity to an inflammable product. But then again perhaps the fuel companies were the only ones who could afford the price of fuel needed!
If you could handle that steering wheel and the gate change…you could call yourself a lorry driver. 
No he didn’t like the TL12 a bus engine apparently
