is claimed that the vehicle, Iplete with Windfoil Econogrp body, can carry over four 5 of payload within the 7.5ne gross weight limit.

Windfoil, based at East Dereham, Norfolk, has formed a small consortium of bodybuilders with Archibald Scott of• Bellshill, Hawson-Garner of Sunbury on Thames, West of England Commercials of Newton Abbot and Custom Bodies of Oldham.

Windfoil has carried out its I own fully laden fuel consumption trials with the Econolite-bodied Terrier over a distance of 1165km (97 miles) incorporating single and dual carriageway Aroads and local B-roads in Norfolk.
The overall fuel consumption • !was 15.31it/100km (18.4mpg) for the run which included 15 stops to simulate an urban distribution qaperation although the load remained constant throughout.
! The Windfoil Terrier in the jform shown has a kerb weight of 3410kg {3tons 7cwt) including the spare wheel and a half full -tank.
The Leyland chassis specification includes six-cylinder engine, power steering and fivespeed gearbox.
