RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted August 5, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 5, 2021 The Humber 4X4 was produced as well as an ambulance as a radio truck, a staff car and as an armoured car. The staff cars had an estate car type body and 'demobbed' ones were popular with farmers after the war. A sort of precursor to the Range Rover.

RANGERS Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 A few photos of the classic lorries at Truckfest at the weekend. The Leyland Bison represents perhaps the lowest point in UK truck manufacturing, the Volvo F12 about the highest. There may have only been a decade between them but they were generations apart in terms of durability and reliability. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Marsbar Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Three of ours out in the daylight today during a shunt around..... Willys Overland Crossley Manchester lorry - Ipswich registered (DX) and originally owned by Thompson & Morgan seeds...... We do have more of the cab in store (!) but it will be seriously expensive to restore this vehicle. Former Suffolk County Council Karrier Bantam...... Green & Skinner Commer 2-stroke lorry....... 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Marsbar Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Don't think there's a thread for "Old Fire Engines" on here, but a line up of 3 of our preserved Suffolk Fire Service appliances during another Museum shunt yesterday....... Left to right, Commer Avenger, Volvo and Dennis. The Dennis F12 was produced in "OO" model form in one of those Atlas "partwork" series a few years back, so you might actually have it on your layout somewhere. Yes, the 03 plate Volvo is now preserved as Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service donated it to us in the last 18 months! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the 03 plate Volvo is now preserved as Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service donated it to us in the last 18 months! Have driven examples of all three. The F12 had a Rolls petrol in it and was quite capable of exceeding 70mph. An awesome machine to drive. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
