KERR STUART / UK

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.
