The Gardner 5 Pot was another engine that would happily run backwards and also if left in gear with no handbrake applied it would start and drive itself into the nearest obstruction, building etc. The Leyland 600 as fitted in the old Octypus, Steer etc. could throw its Governor weights and then they would runaway with themselves and if not stopped, not very easy, you had one ruined engine at the very least.
