    Thanks for the explanation. I thought 15/50 stood for 1500cc/50hp.

    So did I, TBQH: they made it awkward with cylinders/power output too - 4/44, 6/99, 6/110.

    Edit: I chose a poor example there! Useful info from Wiki -

    Later, the first number equalled the number of cylinders. After 1956, this number was changed to reflect the engine's displacement for four-cylinder cars.

    IIRC the legendary "Prince Henry" Vauxhall was a 30/98. Wonder if the same was going on there?

    Might get on the bus into town to see it and stand on Spital Bridge just like I did nearly 42 years ago to watch the last Deltic service :(
