Yes I think you are right. I climbed in her a number of times, and got
some photo's somewhere. Only point I am definite about is that the
engines were straight sixes and USA built. I had originaly considered
buying it, but at that time I did not own my own tank transporter, and
costs to drag it back to the UK were about as much as the purchase
price.

Could be some truth in that, there still seemed to be more room (even
with that lot), than trying to work on a 'Stuart'. You also wouldn't
have the cold-start delay you had with the continental radial. I once
loaded my 'Sexton', on to the trailer from ground level just with the
crank handle when I had a clutch problem.

Perhaps it was in both countries. I seem to remember the factory in
Surrey closing down some years ago.
