Apparently not - the engine was 6LW, 6LX or Rolls Royce and it was nicknamed Sabrina - for obvious reasons.

The 'Sabrina' name was used from day one for the semi-forward control KV cab at ERF,even by Peter Foden himself and as David Powell rightly suggests it was conceived for the brewery trade designed for a brewery who wished to carry a crew of a driver and two draymen, the lack of an engine hump made it possible to fit a single and a double width seat.
