The product of a well-known firm of locomotive builders, the KERR STUART was the first British diesel-engined truck. They used a 11-litre 4-cylinder McLaren Benz of 60 hp. A single cylinder 4 hp engine was used to start the diesel ! Drive was through a 4-speed gearbox and double chaine drive. There was no commercial succes. Only few trucks were built so you have to look years for this nice emblem.
