Nice Investigative find!
Great Find Mike! that make a lot of sense and lines up well with the 40 late model morris tillies that were sent here in 45, my guess is ours are almost certainly in that shipment.
cheers Chris |
Hi Mike,
I know of a Hillman Tilly in NSW that was in a contract supplied to the Australian government and according to the present owner it had belonged to a hospital for some years, so there is a possibility that is where it was allocated to on arrival, essential services, makes sense. regards, Richard |
Observed on all the Morris Tilly’s Chris Collins has recovered is the detachable roof. Obviously to save on shipping space one would think, but it is not a feature I have noticed on European based tillies.
The Hillman you mentioned Richard I think is similarly roofed. |

Think these are the Ford WOT2 and Morris CS8's used by the bush fire brigades
