The problem with 'Rattletrap' as a Trojan is that, at that time, Trojans ran on a petrol/oil mixture, and they had electric starters. Billy Lewthwaite asked 'Where 'at's Mr Turner's petrol?' and he hand-cranked the engine. Also - Trojans had syncromesh gears, thus Mrs Blackett could not have crashed them.
