If I’m right, one on this Forum’s regular contributor once had a Humber fitted with a Gardner engine. Perhaps will he confirm?

I once had a 1939 Packard 8 with a P6 engine, does that help? 
Sadly had car but no camera. 
Thanks! In France, I have no information about solid-tyred six-wheelers, but Leland indeed produced them, such as this Hippo. This 1929 Hippo looks quite similar to the NZ logger.Frankydobo:
Will anyone tell more about this Leyland logger? The landscape doesn’t seem to be in Gibraltar. "
New Zealand don’t know date of the truck but the log is Kauri woodThis Leyland would be from the 1920’s, possibly a Q Export Type and would have originally run on solid tyre’s with most being changed to pneumatic during the 30’s. The headlights too would have been replaced as they originally had Acetylene lamps and oil sidelamps. The radiator style, chassis front member with the line of holes and the flat curve front wings all point to that era, some of these vehicles though were very hardy and continued into use into the 50’s. However its likely had a local cab build or even the original replaced at some point. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa in the early years after WWI had Leyland branches. Franky.

a 6x6 AEC Matador in need of further attention.
Yes it is part of a Kaurie trunk, here are some images taken at the Kaurie wood museum near Warkworth, North Island NZ in 2006. The steam log hauler was used for pulling logs out of the forests.

I wonder what can be the kerb weight and also the cost of such a 8x8 tipper, especially with a roll-on/roll-off body. They certainly need to be kept busy every day, year round!
A very busy scene at the entrance to the Mersey Tunnel in Liverpool, September 1966.
Ford Thames Traders, AECs, and a Foden amongst the cars which all appear to be British

Thursdays memories, Buzzer
Great pictures as ever John, From memory, the two Albion 6 wheelers carrying spuds belong to " Smiths Crisps ".
Cheers, Ray.
Great pictures today buzzer and yes we all built trollies out of planks and old pram wheels round our way, I made a tri axle trailer for mine and even moved a wardrobe from my nans house to her friends with it, my dad being an HGV mechanic was able to get me the long vehicle signs etc.

Our trolleys were known as " Steering Carts ". The one that I made with my mate Geoff was a 6 wheeler. The back end was a childrens pushchair, so it already had
2 axles with 4 wheels and a seat and side rail type handles. Dad provided the timber for the chassis, and the front wheels were from a Silver Cross pram, they were
twice as big as the little pushchair wheels at the rear. Fond memories. Ray Smyth.
Nice picture of that little Foden of Sam Longson, I doubt he is still alive so must be turning in his grave over the goings on at Derby County at the moment. Perhaps Cloughie feels the same way too.

0One of the Austin County models but I confess I’m too young to know which. Devonshire? I think Dad had one before he got an A30.
Austin Devon.
Thanks geezer. I think there were Hampshires and Dorsets and Somersets too, but don’t ask me to pick which from what.
The Dorset model was similar to a Devon but with only two doors. The Hampshire was more bulbous, the Hereford was a similar shape but with a six cylinder engine.
Pete.
I used to work on the Leyland Laird’s and Boxers that Littlewoods (Multiple Fruits) ran, they suffered badly with steering vibration but blanking off the automatic chassis lube to the front axle and spring shackles cured that.

“WHO REMEMBERS MAKING ONE OF THESE”
Had one or two different models Buzzer, one with the pushbike rear wheels could get along at a fair old speed we called them hurlies. As kids in a farming area we made wooden tractors and carts using different size polish tins for wheels a nail through the centre for an axle, staple and a bent nail for hitching. Another toy was a pushbike spokeless wheel rim propelled and steered applying a length of iron rod into the rim, a fireside poker was ideal. That was the good stuff we good up to
