    Bill,You are correct on the origins of the engine & I think the phase 1
Vangard had been produced for a year or so before the deal was struch with
fergusion.I lived in France in the early fiftys & saw a number of british WW2
lorries in a salvage yard near Paris (Pont-A muson I think) they werent
really badged anything but the engines were very similar to the Vangard 2
liter.I have always wondered if the might have been an ancestor of the TR
engine.The most acceptable first use was the standard Vangard
