johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-02-19 19:35	These trucks were available with four different engines: Two petrol “ET6” 4 cylinder “Cost Cutter” V-8 Two diesel “ET7” 4 cylinder “4D” 6 cylinder “6D” Plus a Perkins diesel option. (An old transport friend was not complimentary about these. “Cold mornings you needed a can of easy start, Polly Perkins - useless things.” The diesels had an appropriate badge on the grille, not present here, there was a “Cost Cutter” badge but I don’t recall ever seeing a truck like this fitted with one.

I don’t recall seeing one sheeted up though. With the diesel knock from the 4D, and a load of empty churns, you knew when one was around!
