1938 Ford M-H Pick-up
I am currently writing a magazine article on the 1938 WD Trials. In 1938 and then 1939, Dagenham Motors Ltd supplied a M-H converted 8-cwt Pick-up. The photo that I have looks to be a Model 81C, but was there a British Ford equivalent at the time, i.e. a E81C? I cannot find anything so far.

Ford
hi David ,
I recall seeing your pics of it somewhere . What a neat little truck . 4X4 and the nice Ford styling of the bodywork . Was it LHD ? One or two of these survive in the U.S. from memory . I wonder was the trials example imported into the U.K. already converted ? I believe they ( M-H in U.S.A. ) converted some 1940 sedans too , South Amercian countries got some ? Argentina maybe .

The tyres look like 9.00 X 13 's . Rather weird . Did Dagenham put these wheels on ?

The Record Cards show that this and what was I beliebe a E88W 3-tonner semi FC chassis, were sold by DAGENHAM MOTORS LTD in March 1939 into WD Stock. They both had M-H front conversions. The following year there ws also a 7W I think with County rear bogie, and M-H front conversion to create a 6 x 4.
The WD chart shows that the E83W was also the Model 61, but what was the British 81C model number? It seems that DM were the M-H agents here, but Universal Power Drives Ltd of Perivale supplied Thornton rear drive conversions as well as possibly being M-H importers. This is an extract from VINTAGE ROADSCENE, Part IV of the article relating to the 1936 Trials: Quote:
