Engine size of horsebox

[clairewhite]

Hi. I've been looking at horseboxes with a view to buy and my other half keeps asking what engine size they are. So far no-one has known! One said 6000 cc on the logbook. Does that mean 6 cylinder or 6 litre engine?

Thanks in advance

Very well said LOL! Just trying to make sure I don't buy something that once fully loaded has no guts

6000 cc is the size of the engine. Basically 6litre.

Yes size of engine and most likely six cylinder too the older lorrys were best with the bigger engines.. now most are 4 cyl and as powefull or even more, also lighter and better on fuel too (post2001)

What size of lorry?
Most are known by the model numbers
i,e Leyland/ Daf 135, 145, 145T etc.
Some makes are more favoured than others, i,e Cummins engine on an older Leyland is meaty! regardless of cc.
