Great War truck Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Anybody like to have a guess at what this was: It does not have long left for this world Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handy1882 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Not sure what it is but it seems a shame to scrap it, it looks in fairly good condition. The wheels look rare, are they the originals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrykins Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'll hazard a guess at a Pre WW2 Morris Commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big ray Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'll hazard a guess at a Pre WW2 Morris Commercial. I am inclined to agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I agree that this is a Morris Commercial but I've been trying to work out what model this may be. I'm know that some of the 'TX' and 'Z' types used deep dished wheels like these, but I've not yet found photos showing them having the six holes that you can see. The only model that I've found so far with these wheels is the 'D' type six-wheeler; and I think Paul Boyer was looking for some wheels for his 'D' types... In short, the wheels are rare and worth preserving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynx42 Rick Cove Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 [h=1]Morris Commercial R 12/15cwt 4 x 2 Cargo[/h] Too good to scrap. Duxfords is a perfect copy. Regards Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
