In the late '70's/early 80's Levy's were in hot water over the sale of Continental AVDS-1790 engines to South Africa, as well as surplus Canadian Centurions that were reportedly going to India.
The engines were filed on export paperwork stating they were to be used in "coal trucks". Authorities were slow to realize these are the engines used to upgrade the Cents in South African service to Oliphant.
The Cents that were supposedly sent to India, long after they were buying Vickers MBT's and license building them as Vijayanta.
