bill van snorkle Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 As above. It is said that ENV were a British offshoot of Eaton, but what does the N and V stand for ? Also does anyone know if the limited production Roadless Traction Forest Rovers were fitted with ENV/GKN diffs/planetaries or Kirkstall/GKNs ? I know it was claimed the early versions were fitted with Studebaker axles but the later ones had banjo style differentials ,not the old fashioned Stude split diffs. Bill.

RobotMan Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/E._N._V._Engineering_Co It seems the name pre-dates the Eaton era 1962 to closure in 1966. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cackshifter Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 The name lived on a bit ... I worked for Leyland in 70s and 80s ; the light trucks were fitted with 'ENV /Turner' gearboxes . Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
