Can't believe this didn't sink
JIMBOBLY:
stolleys are an awsome bit of kit,and it is true about the flames out of the exhaust,they have a rolls royce (b80)straight 8 petrol engine in them,around 4 to the gallon,just a pain to steer them,cause all three diffs,well,they arnt realy diffs,as they are direct drive,completely locked in other words,and one with a complete wading kit on,wont sink,at least you would like to think it wouldnt, :lol:

Passed one today. It's parked at the side of the road, just off Broadway in Wakefield.

I'm sure they used the same power-pack as a 432 troop-carrier..., but I might be wrong.
"Matchbox" made a model, with "BP" logos on the door..., so, maybe they used them for oil exploration in the Middle East.

The Stally engine is a Rolls Royce 8 cylinder petrol job - maybe the same as Mk1 432(?) but I don't think so as the space in the engine bay of a 432 was pretty limited - which had a nasty habit of catching fire. No fun if you're loaded with jerry cans of petrol or bag charges for MBT ammunition :-)

would prove an interesting mix :lol:

if you mean the fv 432,they had the 4.2 jag engine in them,as the same as the sultan troop carriers,and the sabre tanks,they arnt the same engine as the jag cars though,they have had the compression alterd for better bottom end torque,the valves and pistons are stronger,and the whole lot is water proofed,and as for the carbs,they're huge
