• A 100-hours continuous test run with a fully laden Leyland Mastiff was successfully carried out by Marshall (Cambridge) Ltd during the week prior to the opening of the Commercial Motor Show, Total mileage covered in the 100 hours was 2552, the average speed throughout the run being 25.5 mph. Fuel consumption, varying between 8.6 minimum and 13.6 maximum, showed a final figure of 9.6 mpg.
The Perkins V8 engined, 16-ton gvw Redline Mastiff carried on its wooden platform body a 10-ton 9cwt payload of concrete.
Specially selected teams of drivers from each of Marshall's three principal distribution points were chosen to drive the vehicle day and night, the company's 24-hour service depot at Peterborough keeping vigil. Fuel oil and engine oil were provided by Shell-Mex and BP and a close check was kept on the Mastiff's economy.
During daylight hours certain operators were able to familiarize themselves with the controls. The 450-mile circuit started and finished at Cambridge, with calls at Marshall depots at Grimsby. Peterborough and Bedford.
