Turner Whitson?
Hello everyone, what an excellent forum.
Does anyone have any information on the British Turner-Whitson 8 seater bus, exhibited at the 1954 Commercial motor show. My main interest lies with the extremely rare all alloy Turner L40 scavenge blown 2 stroke twin cylinder diesel engine installed into it, but any relevant facts whatsoever about the vehicle itself would be most welcome. |

Never heard of it - but I think I remember that Turners were making engines before making gearboxes.

Turner Whitson,
Thanks for all that info G-CPTN, yes 'Turners' were indeed making engines long before gearboxes and they had a very long and very distinguished automotive and engineering history, but the little 8 seater Turner Whitson bus (Front Wheel Drive in fact) was a one off (I think). There is a picture of it on Google images and also EBAY, but that seems to be all the info I can find.
