The speedo showed a top speed of 60mph, wishful thinking. The army unit I was part of in1963 had one of these, it barely got itself up the hill from Dover, grinding along in 1st. meanwhile any of the RLs would easily pass as we we're practically stationary

Convoy speed was 28mph ,They were the backbone of British army trucks
during WW2.
We also had a large number in BAOR in the early 1950 s.
