Re; your FG photograph
When I was a kid, a neighbour drove one, as a 'bread van'
He worked for Associated Dairies (well before the 'ASDA' name took over everything)
In summer, he'd drive it with the doors open for a through breeze......... then end up stopping, getting out & chasing his paperwork down the road

Either a Diesel or a V6 with that front end

1890s fire engine. Originally steam powered, it was fitted with a Fiat petrol engine in the early 1900s. It's horse drawn.

I wouldn’t want to be driving that with a trailer if it still had the original Perkins fitted .

DVLA have it as a 2.5 litre diesel.
It was only being used to tow a small Cooper T59 Formula Junior

The ‘Bandag Bullet’, & its Ford Transcontinental low-loader

I can’t remember where, but…. I think 1982/1983?
They've copied reasonably well, to consider that they're (3" x 3") prints taken with a 110 camera, simply photographed themselves via my iPhone

The packet states 1982 National Motor Show

This would have been at the NEC (not Earls Court, as even then, I had no intentions of going to London), in one of the years when it was a combined show (cars/trucks/parts manufacturers)

6" x 4" prints, taken by my father on his (I think at the time?) Nikon, & simply photographed themselves via my iPhone

Desert specification, for those oil exploration contracts?? ( rather similar to why Thorneycroft originally developed, what became the Antar)
