1936 Morris Leader
 
http://www.photoarchives.co.uk/acatalog/aab765.jpg

This is a Morris-Commercial Leader on the 1936 North Wales Trials. Question...which model is it?

C.S.10/80 2-ton Military load 10 feet 6 inches wheelbase
C.S. 14/80 2-ton 14 feet wheelbase (unlikely)
C.2 dual-control instructional lorry with special tilt body with seats

It looks as though the body may tilt but does it have seats?

David,

I take it you think a tilt body is a tipper? Tilt body means one with a frame and canopy (or tilt.......same thing) not one that tilts :)

Richard, I in all sincerity SHOULD know that a 'Tilt' body is as you described and a 'Tipper' tips but I clean forgot so thanks for reminding this idiot! :salute: A 'Tilt' is also something that Knights joust at!

Question is: is this in fact the 30-cwt C.S. 11/30 and not the two-ton Leaders? It is stamped on the back that the load is not top exceed 30 CWT.
