Roy Larkin Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Anybody any ideas on Ensign lorries? All I've been able to find out is that they were 3 tonners (presumably subsidy spec) built in London from December 1914 to about 1923. Problem is that I have 62 Coy with one in France in September/October 1914 with gearbox trouble. It's possible they had several, but my gut feeling is that it is the same one that keeps breaking down as it is crops up several times during October.

Hi Roy, Looks like they did produce in small numbers for the WD, but also supplied to Russian army. The Commercial Motor article linked here describing an improved model in 1919 mentions gearbox changes and as you will see, there were problems with selecting due to chassis twist by all accounts. http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/13th-march-1919/16/a-british-four-tonner regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
