Re: NOS Industrial T3 engine

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

So, some Split buses have Type 3 engines as stock, just in 63/64?
What market would that have been?  I've not heard of it in the UK.

Go on, Martin, amaze me again!  I can't find a Type 3 engine number
starting 124... apart from the late '62 ones.

Keep 'em coming!
Dave.
