Being pedantic (unlike me I know), the turbocharged 50s (and derivatives) were actually slower top end than the NA version - the turbo Phaser was governed to 2,600rpm, the non-turbo could rev to 2,800.

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.

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.

I'm with you there Billy!  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.....

ex-Peter Sellers I might believe, but Blake Edwards? He was an American, based in LA, seems a bit unlikely he'd have a RHD UK registered car, though not impossible of course.

Here's a cheaper one.

 

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.
