Model trucks and their real life prototypes

Gianni, the Opperman Motorcart was fitted with either a J.A.P Douglas aircooled engine. There are a few around at vintage rallies in the UK.

Yes, Pete, I was wrong: the engine was a 350 cc mono, the same, I believe, of the famous trial bikes…
But, beside this, any news about the Oppermann brand?

All you need to know in the link below Gianni, I also meant to write that they had either a J.A.P OR a Douglas engine! :blush:

Fantastic, Peter: I have looked into that link and now, after years, I know something about the Opperman that Mr. Hornby reproduced…
Yes, I still make mistakes about Bedford Os and Austin K2s. But I am not the only one, I presume.
Regarding to the little orange Dinky breakdown lorry, I think we can say it has been inspired by a Bedford WS…
Any news about its engine?
