It's a Thames, which was what Henry called his UK trucks before the Ford Transit came along. Before that they were called Fordsons for some reason, as were his tractors.

Correct

The truck was a Ford Thames Trader ET6 or ET7 - one was Petrol and the other diesel.

Until it starts up and you put your ear to the screen, you do not know. Just for the records this was well before the Audi diesels, which are way much more louder anyway   

Some people call them just Thames Trader, but in my reference books their under Ford section.

I like the idea of a Red Barrel demonstration unit! What do you need to demo?

Ok

I'm off to look in my vaults for more.

Do not go away

Used to drive one of them tractors on Wyatt's farm in Bosham, prefered the Massey though, particularly the small 35, the 65 wasn't bad though. But the combine Klauus was a frigging handfull (1967/8)(School holidays to pay for trips and beer).

It's clearly either an Austin 1 Ton or a Morris LD, identical vehicles due to more BMC badge engineering... Made from 1952 to 1968 without any major inprovements, it was replaced by the BMC EA range which was very similar underneath, just with a more modern cab. And they wonder why Britain lost it's light commercial vehicle industry. :(

Film, no idea, it appears to be set in the desert. Giz a clue?

Correct - again - have to find a hard one again.

It was a Morris LD.
It was a pooled design with Austin introduced in 1954. They were marketed with different names on the bonnet, they were identical. Except the Austin version had four slits in the front grille.


The film, - simple hint - girls in stockings!  ;)

Le Mans - the how you get there is not quite as important as being there.

Correct - but only 1/2 point.

I would have thought the perfect time for one (or 3) of the St Trinians! - Do you think their packed for Le Mans?



Now to look for the next pic - be back after me cup of tea.
