Default B80's were fitted to

Alvis Saracen, Saladin, Stalwart, Salamander
GKN TRojan, Vickers Abbot
Leyland Martian
Thornycroft Nubian, LightMobile Digger(Trench)
various Douglas specialist vehicles
Vauxhall/Albion 3 & 5 ton truck
aaand Centurion ARV as a winch drive.

Australian uses probably only Saracen & Saladin, Martian, a few Nubians and the two(?) ARV's.

There are quite a few of these engines around, cheap as chips compared to the original price. Do love a good drink though.
