If only it had worked...
For anyone with an interest in the view at the rear end of a Daimler Roadliner with the floor traps out!
The bulk of the 9.6 litre Cummins VIM / V6-200 as accommodated practically under the back seat albeit with a slightly larger shelf behind. The lump at the bottom of the picture is the four speed semi auto gearbox. The Perkins engined subsequent batches had the latter feature complimented by a two speed air operated rear axle, but I'm not sure if these did. The wooden frame isn't relevent, but just look at the opulence, deep pile carpets with thick underlay and those wonderful livery co-ordinated black and white reclining seats.
I find myself regressing, and reading road tests and press reports of such as these with trade journalists foaming at the mouth and gushing in their praise... how could they have been so wrong?! For their time (in the UK) there was little to equal a Roadliner with the 'full fat' setting of 192bhp from the V6, but it was the AEC Reliance, and Leyland Leopard nominally at 25 to 30 bhp less which were to continue to provide for a very conservative industry as before, particularly as the Daimler began to regularly throw it's toys out of the pram.
Thresholds
All of the thresholds in the house between the new wood floors and the existing tiles are about and inch and a half high. This is due to the original tiles being laid over subflooring that was laid over another layer of tile and subfloor. To fix this, the tiles and all the subfloors should be taken down to the original subfloor, any damage there should be fixed, with a new underlay put in place, then covered with self leveling concrete, then the tile can be laid over that and should line up with the new wooden flooring with little to no lip. As is the thresholds don't match anything, you see the screws from the top, they are sharp and are a huge trip hazard.
