Book: From \'Classics and Nostalgia\' in HJ\'s Book of Motoring Answers 1998
Title: Two-stroke Land Rover
\"Many years ago I drove a long-wheelbase Land Rover from London to what was then Salisbury in Southern Rhodesia. You may be interested to know that it had an unusual engine - a three-cylinder two-stroke diesel. So perhaps I made a small mark in motoring history.\"
This was the first I\'d heard of a two-stroke three-cylinder Land Rover diesel. But twenty readers came forward with information. One not only identified the engine, but enclosed a copy of an advertisement from The Autocar of 29 July 1955, headed \'Operation Enterprise proves Turner- Diesel Reliability\'. This described \'a gruelling 10,000 mile journey, over desert and jungle in appalling weather\' as \'convincing proof of the stamina and dependability of the Turner-Diesel 2-Stroke Supercharged Engine.\' A further article, from Automobile Engineer of November 1954, told how these engines were designed by Prof. Hans List of Graz, Austria (where they were called \'Jenbachs\') and built under licence by Turners of Wolverhampton in 1.4, 2.1 and 2.8 litre capacities with two, three or four cylinders. Maximum power was 37.5 bhp, 56 bhp and 75 bhp at 2,800 rpm, and maximum torque was 76 lb. ft., 114 lb. ft. and 152 lb. ft. at 1,900 rpm. Rootes also made two-stroke supercharged diesel engines at the time and these were fitted to Commer and Karrier trucks and fire appliances. Other manufacturers of two-stroke diesels were Rolls Royce, Perkins and GMC.

The old ERF (again) had the exhaust pointing out sideways under the front bumper, it sounded georgeous going through small towns and vibrating off the walls, also in traffic, you could give it a bootfull and the smoke would go straight into open car windows. :twisted: :twisted:
