Lot 1242
VJ 9266, a very uncommon 1936 FORDSON THAMES model 61 (E88W) 25 cwt. flat bed LORRY/TRUCK first registered on the 20th October 1936 and having the seldom seen 2.6'' bore x 3.2'' stroke 2226.9cc V8 flat-head steel side-plate engine rated at 22 h.p. and driving through a 3 speed gearbox. This vehicle has been in the present ownership since 1968 and has been the subject of a total strip-down and restoration over the last 15 years, which has included bare-metal re-painting of the chassis, total re-building of the bed with new timbers, re-boring and new pistons, a crankshaft regrind with new big-end and main bearings, new valves, a gearbox overhaul and new clutch, a new wiring loom and overhaul of the self-starter, dynamo and magneto, a brakes overhaul, new tyres all round, re-upholstery and most recently a new 6 volt battery. VJ 9266 is not yet run-in but drove very well during the 20 mile trip (Her first since restoration) to the sale-room. The truck carries a Herefordshire registration number and has remained in the area since originally being supplied to a local general dealer who used her for delivering household goods. In an article in the Hereford Times on September 23rd 1999 entitled "Memories of village life in a forever-lost England"- a look back at Pembridge characters from 1924, the truck's original owner is described as "canny John Bridges, a 'General Trader' and keen businessman known for miles around, whose forbears had lived in Pembridge for longer than anyone else could remember". The vendor's late brother-in-law remembered his mother sending him to collect in a jug, vinegar from the barrel that Mr. Bridges carried on this lorry with other household goods on his monthly visit to the area. When new, the truck was finished in Burgundy and black and sign-written. Her second owners were the Davis Family of stonemasons (Walter and Lou Davis), who painted the truck stone grey. Another article in the Hereford Times on February 8th 2001 reads: "Mappa Mundi's wartime home.....Hereford's invaluable Mappa Mundi was kept safe at Clee Hill during the Second World War, an enthusiast has revealed. Tom Williams from Allensmore, said the ancient map of the world had been transported by his late neighbour, Lou Davi(e)s, on his lorry for safe keeping somewhere in the village. He would like to hear from anyone with information about it('s) movements. Mr. Davi(e)s, who died 15 years ago, last worked at the cathedral in the 1960s or 1970s as a builder and maintenance worker for the Davi(e)s family of stone-masons. Mr. Williams can be contacted on 01432 ------". Since the lorry was mentioned on BBC local radio, we have been contacted by a local gentleman whose father and grand-father both worked with the late Mr. Lou Davis and sight of the truck brought back vivid memories of it being parked at Lou Davis's home near Allensmore Village Hall and it seems likely that this is the very vehicle entrusted with the task of transporting the ancient map. The vehicle is sold with a 1937 Instruction Book and Parts Price List, a buff coloured continuation registration book issued on 19.8.1957 and last stamped in June 1964 road fund licensing her to 30/9/64 and with a stamped transfer of ownership to the present owner dated 8th January 1968. There is also an old style V5C Registration Certificate stating that the registration mark is non-transferable, old tax disks, voluminous files of receipts, technical information, notes, sketches, lubrication and wiring diagrams, the replaced valves and bearings, etc. The engine covers are present. Some notes regarding the History of VJ 9266 kindly provided by the Vehicle's Owner. ''I was working for Mr. Lou Davies doing carpentry. In January 1968 Mr. Davies retired and the business was sold. Mr. Davies offered the Fordson lorry to the local Ford dealer who was not interested and said it might as well go for scrap. I had driven the lorry and I offered to buy it. Mr. Davies sold it to me for forty-five pounds. At the time I had nowhere to garage it so I drove it to Bredenbury and parked it on the site where I was working. I finished on that site and towed the lorry back to a lock-up garage I rented at Bryngwyn Mansion, Wormelow. When I married we went to live at Breinton where I was able to garage the lorry. Later on we moved from there and I towed the lorry to my brother-in-law's farm at Dilwyn and parked it sheeted up. We then found a place at Tarrington. I paid a local firm to move the lorry to our home and was able to start work on the restoration. It took a long time but my wife and I met a lot of interesting people on our trips to collect parts for the lorry. With most of the restoration done I decided to sell the lorry and I spoke to Mr. Nigel Ward regarding his company selling it for me''. This highly collectable truck, which is understood to be M.O.T. test exempt and with an historic vehicle taxation class would be ideal for attending vintage rallies, as a publicity vehicle or simply to add to a collection.
