The Motor Rail / Simplex 60S was, along with the
40S, the successors to the highly successful
32/42. The 60S has increased power between 50 to 72hp and had an improved version of the 32/42's three speed gearbox [1]. The 60S could be fitted with a cab or an exhaust quencher depending on the customer's requirements.
