You want suggestions? Take your dentures out before driving a Perkins-engined Trojan! Been there, done that, ain't doing it again! |

My wifes now departed Uncle had a P3 engined Trojan.
I have two memories of a short run in it - firstly the vibration (alluded to by Uncle Alec above) and secondly the complete lack of any discernable power. I reckon I could walk faster!
Anyway good luck with the bus - _________________ Jonathan Butler

I had a people carrier ex-Walls of Hyde. I used it once or twice.
My God!.
I'm sorry - I can't speak any more. |
