Guy Motors Limited of Wolverhampton made some very weird military vehicles during WW2 and pre war , like the FBAX 3 tonner 6X4 .

I have a handbook for such a vehicle here. The engine is a huge five litre 4 cyl S.V. engine !! With two separate cyl heads made from aluminium .

The valves are inclined .

The water pump is mounted at 90 degrees to the engine block and is driven by a shaft .

The carby is a jumbo version of the Morris Commercial type , the dust proof RFV Solex thing .

Magneto ignition as well .

The tyre size is 9.00 X 22 !

If anyone knows of a gallant restorer of one of these , I havea handbbok for it .

Mike
