Presumably Perkins were concerned with the piston crowns remaining attached to the rest of the piston, ditto the exhaust valves; turbots give both a much harder time.

eddyramrod Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Mr warninglight has kindly been to check out the Ulverston Ambassador for me. I'm declaring myself out. It's already beyond a price I could justify and has a lot of cosmetics still to do. Someone will get a nice project there. mk2_craig, Cavcraft and Remspoor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first day on a new job I had to take one of these from Southport to Preston, at 3am, with nobody else in the yard. That was fun... G150DKC was a six-banger 130, which I think should be about 5.9 litres? It could go some, certainly! I often used it for a delivery round in Blackpool, and coming back to Preston it would fly. I have, naturally, a Corgi Royal Mail Cargo painted up to match... ETA: I also have a front grille off this model which I was planning to use as a wall ornament in my back yard. Free if a Shiter can collect... Me too, I drove a flatbed one of these fully loaded (overloaded) from Bristol to Plymouth 27 years ago, it was thankfully a six-banger and sounded like a proper lorry but it overheated on Haldon hill and I had to pull into a lay-by at the top and let it cool down before continuing the journey, Ryder truck rental were none the wiser..... eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fucked as that probably is (and they turned to rust very quickly years ago) I bet that's a good investment even if left in that state for another few years. My old deputy head teacher had a brown one, even back in the day (it'd have been new at the time) it looked absolutely class.

They lived in LA, but as I said, it's possible. It's certainly no more unbelievable than claiming a car was once owned by Paolo Nutini's grandmother, though I suspect establishing the provenance may not be easy or they'd have done it already.
