A feature of both Vauxhall engines is the filter trayof gauze, which forms a false bottom to the crankcase, andcan be withdrawn from the front below the cross memberby removing the six nuts which hold the flanged front endto the front face of the oil sump. Engine and gear-box are separately mounted on a sub-frame. The multi-disk clutch is connected to the four-speed gear-set by a shaft and flexible coupling. Right-hand control is employed and to the transmission is fitted. Vauxhall engine, 3% x 5% 30-98 hp.
