The FV1200 range never entered production and only existed as prototypes, powered by 18-litre fuel injected versions of the Rolls-Royce 'Meteorite' engine, the V8 version of the 'Merlin' used in battle tanks. Dennis had the original design contract but they were out of their depth and the contract was transferred to Leyland. YUV919 has been converted to twin rear wheels and looks to have been about 12 feet wide overall. Mike Przyrembel
