True, it was the Atlas Major of 1961 which first used the 1670cc Standard
Ensign unit, a linered down version of the TR Engine. This unit was also
later used in the Standard 15, a cosmetically changed Atlas Major. The
Standard 20, a long wheelbase version of the 15 used a 2138cc Vanguard
Engine. This survived as the Leyland 20 until 1968.
