Unknowns


 

Occasionally photographs or information appears about a 1-ton, but without an specific information. I have listed some such vehicles, and what details I know, here.

STK801L appears to be ex-electricity board. It is no longer on the road, but was obviously much cherished. A V8 was fitted and both front and rear winches.





HOW221N is obviously ex-southern electricity, but has lost its winch and been fitted with a truck cab and 3/4 tilt. It was last seen in Ireland.




SPD604L also appears to be ex-southern electric, but is registered in Kent. This could be a cherished transfer. Other photos show the vehicle was light green originally, and was rebuilt at Dunsfold with a 2.25 diesel engine. It was apparently rolled and scrapped many years ago. It had an SEB-modified side opening tailgate and retained the hydraulic winch.






In about 1970 the Automobile Association had a kneeling car transporter built using the cab and running gear of a IIA 1-ton. The registration and chassis numbers are not known, however research by Peter Galilee suggests the vehicle does still exist, in a somewhat dilapidated state.




Unknown Portuguese 1-ton fire tender




YHU113J - IIA 1-ton fire tender apparently used by Rolls-Royce.






LCF585P was used by Southern Electricty Board in the Oxford in the 1970s, and is unusual in that it was built on 7.50x16 tyres.




OBL328M was fitted with a cherrypicker platform and used by Southern Electricity Board at Oxford for liveline work in the 1970s.
