Hiya,
The early V8 Pilot’s were notorious for knocking the big ends out due to them having “splash” lubrication, the paddles that lubricated the bearings were prone to snapping off if a cold engine was revved hard, I did have a couple an early one and a later one the early one soon became a scrapper due to a knackered engine I at the time being a young fellah part-ex’d the second newer job for a Vauxhall 12/6 DX while the Ford was still just about running.

The vans like the one in the pic usually had a Perkins P3 diesel engine, it has the Perkins badge on the front. Previously they had a supercharged two stroke engine but they were very thirsty so the Perkins was an option, actually the first small van with a diesel engine fitted.

A picture at the Pier Head area of Liverpool, soon after 1956 when the Overhead Railway closed.
Most of the Overhead Railway, from Seaforth to Dingle was removed within a year of the closure.
The large area to the right of the Royal Liver Building facing the River Mersey was a bus and tram
terminus for Liverpool Corporation buses and trams, and also for Crosville Motor Services.
Crosville covered bus journeys to Prescot, Widnes, and Warrington. There was a few bus routes
by Ribble Motor Services from here, that headed north of the city to Bootle,Waterloo and Crosby.
Picture from Bootle History Forum.
