Found this in my collection, no film this time. Just what is it?
So what vehicle is it?
Rather remanicent of a DENNIS. Afterall, Llyons were the very first owners of a commercially operated computer. |

Small Hint
This company was founded 3 years before and produced its first commercial vehicle a year before Dennis Brothers Ltd produced its first commercial vehicle.
Any help?

No idea what film, but normally Mr Whippy was a good customer of the Commer/Karrier BF (see bottom pic). And yet that one looks strangely like an Austin FG. You remember them, they had the little glass windows in the cab so you could see what you were about to hit... I know this, I learned to drive in one!  It might be that the FG was only used by Superwhippy, in which case I stand corrected. It's an odd thing to have a truck with a two ton payload for use in the icecream business.  Oh and FWIW I f**k*ng hated Tonibell icecream, it made me feel sick and their vans were sh*t.   From L-R, BMW Isetta 'buble car'. Ford Anglia, Icecream van is a Bedford, Leyland Sherpa (behind Bedford) Modern CRAP All true. And the Film is!!!!!!!!!! Let me know if you need any HELP! I said the ice cream van was a Commer BF. You said it was a Karrier 1 Tonner (same thing!). Then Leftie said the ice cream van was a Bedford and named the other vehicles. You said "All true". I asked which ice cream van is a Bedford. You said "none"! Confused? You will be...  |

correct again. According to my book In 1955 a new series of Claymore 3 ton and 4 ton chassis was introduced, using new horizontal version of an older diesel power unit which was mounted amidships under the frame. This allowed a cab to be built forward of the axle, unobstructed by wheel arches. A 10ft or 11ft 10in wheebase alternatives was offered Eductaional this quiz again. Now to look for another film/truck be right back. |
