Bull nosed Dennis & another Russel motor, Buzzer

[froggy55]

The bull-nosed Dennis looks like a conversion on the chassis of a standard 4-wheeler. The cab is rather spacious and neatly built for its time. Interesting!

Hi Oily, I last spoke to Jim Berresford when on a vintage road run from Dumfries out into deepest Galloway arranged by Jim Doig about 2008 he had a Foden six wheeler I had my ERF four wheeler. Sadly Jim passed away not long after this event, he was a gentleman. RIP Jim.
Cheers, Leyland 600.

Certainly a great improvement for drivers working for town or county councils, who spend their days climbing in and out of their truck. Brilliant!

Hi Leyland 600 I understand from what Ronnie Cameron used to tell me Jim Beresford was involved in the organisation of or gave strong support to some of the Scottish rallies, northern ones anyway. This photo of the 6 wheel Foden taken at the Cross Inn, Ness, Isle of Lewis, you can’t get much further west in Europe than that.
Cheers
