Handy Bendy Crossley!

This was supposed to be in '1945', but the front end looks pre-war to my uninformed eyes. The Census List has a one-off listed:

L 398051 V.3277 LORRY 3TON 4 X 4 G/S

It looks like a 3-tonner, and so this may be the prototype. [/COLOR]V.3277 would date to around February/March 1938.

Just found some more info: THE Crossley 3-tonner FWD 4 x 4 trialled in 1938, that did not do well because of being under-tyred. It was returned to Crossleys and they altered the axle ratio and steering, fitted 11.00 tyres instead of 10.50 and larger shock absorbers.
