There was an article in 'Practical Classics' a while back about a bloke who built a vintage stye special on a (IIRC) Leyland truck chassis with a TS3 engine, can't seem to find anything on the web, tho... There's a sectioned one in the Coventry transport museum hooked up to a motor, press the button and you can see how it all worked.  |

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

The Wade RO34 supercharger off them was the "hot" fit for blown Rover V8s (and Essex V6 sometimes) back in the day. I got offered a pair at an autojumble a couple of years ago for £115 each or £200 the pair. They were still there at the end of the day.
Problem is by the time you have refurbished them and modified the flange to fit a carb and correct intake and bought the correct snout and such you could have bought a brand new BDS 4/71 or whatever...
Cool though.

 This 3 cylinder but 6 piston engine known as the TS3 were unique, being a supercharged two stroke diesel, a flat, box shape engine with two sets of rockers and shafts running along the outer edges of the cylinder block, linking the crankshaft and conrods together, the 3 cylinders lay horizontal above the crankshaft with the 6 pistons facing each other, two pistons in each bore, meeting in the middle for compression and ignition and no cylinder head as we know it. The exhaust note is totally different with a real rasp to it, along with the whine and screaming noise from the supercharger it make's quite a distinctive sound. The capacity was only 3.6 litres but produced as much power as Perkins 8 litre diesel engines, but with far better fuel economy. No other engine of that size produced so much power, some finding their way into boats, industrial pumps and generator sets. A handful of the last engines manufactured were fitted with turbo chargers.  |
