Andrew,
It is indeed a Fordson WOT6, a later one than Mike Kelly showed in his thread a few days ago, as it has the roof hatch and removable top half of cab for shipping, also different cab vents on front. Date of build would be about late 43 to 45. I was going to ask if the dynamo was any good, because I need one for a WOT6, but it would cost an arm and a leg to get it home :( so dont worry :D |

Andrew - thanks for that. Proves that the "Network" is working. Thanks also Richard for the vehicle data.

The one Mike showed is in Dinger's yard...
If I recall the chassis was badly rusted around the front. You can see by the layout why they were called the English Blitz over here, as was the Bedford QL. |
interesting
How do they compare (performance, reliability and handling wise )to a ford or chev blitz ?
:confused |
