On the toughest endurance schedule ever devised by a British manufacturer (with the trickiest negotiations too!) these rugged representatives of the decade's most exciting new truck range are in the process of proving their paces to the world. And for the first time ever they are doing it on Russian soil. le convoy, comprising 3 'D' Series trucks, a ach and 3 cars, set out from England on April . They will roll into Sochi —the famous Black a resort—on May 6, having travelled by way Belgium, Germany and Czechoslovakia to ev, then Kharkov, Rostov, Pyatigorsk, Tbilisi d all stations east to the Black Sea. This itinerary pulls no punches. It is severely testing every cubic inch of these new trucks, proving every claim made for their toughness, durability, reliability. At the same time, it is doing a great job for Britain's export drive in the finest possible way. 24 European journalists are accompanying the convoy from Kiev to Sochi and will be giving their impressions of the exercise in the Press throughout the Continent. News flashes will be issued at many points.
Return demonstration tour across Europe The return trip is equally important and impressive—a tour of the main truck-using countries in Europe. In Prague and Vienna, for instance, the trucks are being demonstrated to Government officials and the Press.
