lynx42 Rick Cove Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 There is a good photo of some WW1 vehicles for sole on Ebay. I think it is a Dennis with an unusual coach-built cab. http://www.ebay.com/itm/British-Armored-autos-Fr-/300747374884?pt=Art_Photo_Images&hash=item4605f0c124 Regards Rick.

Richard Farrant Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi Rick, It looks like a Dennis, and zooming in to the rad top tank seems to confirm it. I would say it might have been a charabanc and has been converted to a platform body, the cab has the lines of a chara' body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Bus and charabancs were requistioned wholesale. Often with the drivers! The first reference to moterised APC's were X type buses with boiler plate attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nz2 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Number two vehicle is a Leyland, may be an X model from about 08-10. Lower radiator tank is hard to make out, however the large oval name plate fits the pattern. Uncertain as to the trailing truck. Could also be a Leyland of 1913 pattern looking at the shape of the radiator top tank and the sharpness of the corners of the radiator frame.

Redherring Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 A Leyland for sure. Features include high bonnet/shaped cowl. This radiator was used on both X and S types. Likely dates of mfr 1910 - 14. Best guess an S4 or X4 of 1914. Nice photo. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
