A puzzle and some fun

Whilst plodding through a mighty 3" thick tome of MV Technical Handbook to
finally grasp & understand the workings of Mr Merritt and Mr Brown's controlled
differential, I also came across the following which sounds like fun.

Sect.3 Chap.1 (page 533)
Engine Test Schedule

(After previous tests)

Re-check slow running.
Reset the engine to 450rpm +/- 10rpm and, with a brake loading of 4.5hp, check
and synchronise slow running to give 6 inches of blue flame (maintaining 450prm
+/- 10rpm) with engine hot, open exhaust.

Perhaps you may surmise the vehicle identity during the quiet period after a
huge dinner tomorrow ! There is already a huge clue as to the generic type
above.

Merry Christmas
