Looks like a touring car Chassis? if you read:

"the Tipo 2 was made in both car and commercial forms, the latter with a straight frame instead of the inswept and upswept type of touring models"

Thanks. That one has been knocking around for a while. It is a mish mash of trucks. After restoring it he attempted to sell it for E40K. He then took the engine out and sold that for a Stutz Bearcat restoration for a good profit. Doesn't leave much chance of selling the truck I would think.

 

On the previous topic, I didn't realise that the Crossley had gone to New Zealand as well. I wonder if that will be turned into a WW1 vehicle as well? A good chunk of it is post war I understand.

I had the chance to look over the Crossley at the Banfield sale and there are two defining factors which showed it to be generally a post war design, but may well have many wartime parts as these vehicles were built up immediately post war for general haulage.

Steering fixed to engine up to 1918 and to chassis from 1918

Rear springing over the axle up to 1918 and under the axle from 1918

The exact dates are not known but it would be fair to say these changes were made for re-entry into the post war civilian market, additionally the military would not be pleased to see an unnecessary design change during the war.

 

Below is the 1909 design at about 1912 with the springs over the axle as the wartime vehicles

Below is the later 1918 design, you will notice I have reversed the drawing to ease comparison and you can see the chassis mounted steering box.

Does anyone know what happened to the 1914 Leyland?
