- Fordson was the name under which commercial and agricultural vehicles produced at Ford's plant in Dagenham, Essex were sold in the UK. The name was first applied in 1917 to the Model F tractor, an immensely influential design that remains one of the world's best-selling tractors, with almost three-quarters of a million produced up to 1928. Production-line methods pioneered on the ubiquitous Model T car enabled Ford to offer the Fordson F at a knocked-down price, forcing many smaller specialist tractor firms out of business. Facing a depressed market, Ford closed its US tractor plants in the mid/late 1920s and transferred production to Cork in Ireland and later to Dagenham in Essex.
Alongside motor cars and tractors, Dagenham also produced light commercial vehicles such as the Fordson E83W 10cwt van. Introduced in 1938, the forward-control Fordson van was also available as a pick-up or estate car, while during WW2 the model was adapted to fulfil roles such as mobile canteens, fire tenders, and ambulances. The Fordson was powered by Ford's ubiquitous 1,172cc sidevalve engine, driving via a three-speed gearbox and low-ratio rear axle; the latter enabled it to cope with the 10cwt maximum payload, though it did restrict top speed. Somewhat surprisingly, apart from the engine, gearbox internals, and some switchgear, no mechanical components were shared with the contemporary Ford Ten saloon, while the van's forward-control layout meant that its chassis and body panels were unique to the model. The E93W was manufactured until 1958, latterly under the Ford Thames brand name, by which time over 188,000 had been made.Originally used as a delivery van in North Wales, this 10cwt Fordson was purchased from one John Brown circa 20 years ago, and in recent times has been on display at the British Engineerium museum at Hove, East Sussex. Restored during 2016/2017, it has been used sparingly and remains in commensurately very good condition (malfunctioning trafficators is the only notified fault). Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style logbook and a V5 registration document.

THE BEAULIEU SALE
NATIONAL MOTOR MUSEUM
SATURDAY 1st SEPTEMBER 2018
- 1928 TALBOT M67 11 SIX COUPÉRegistration no. BF 8464 Chassis no. 70392£ 32,000 - 35,000€ 35,000 - 39,000
- *Imported from France
*Right-hand drive
*Restored between 2008 and 2017
- Formed in 1903 to import French Clément cars into the UK, the British-owned Clément-Talbot concern quickly dropped the Clément name and by 1905 was assembling partly British-made Talbots at its new factory in London. A wide variety of French-built models continued to be imported, but by 1906 the first all-British Talbot had arrived. Talbot merged with Sunbeam in 1919 and the following year combined with the French Darracq concern to form the Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq (STD) conglomeration. Confusingly, the products of the group's Suresnes factory were badged as Talbots in France and Darracq elsewhere, and the former should not be confused with the British-made Talbots designed by Georges Roesch.Offered here we have one of the French-built Talbots, the M67, which was part of a family of six-cylinder models of various capacities that had first been introduced in 1920 and would be produced up to the mid-1930s. The M67 was powered by a 2.0-litre overhead-valve engine, designed by ex-FIAT engineer Vincenzo Bertarione, which produced 38 horsepower and gave the M67 a top speed of around 60mph – a decent performance for a 2.0-litre car of the period. Coil ignition and a four-speed gearbox were advanced features for the time.This car was purchased from a French dealer as a restoration project and imported into the UK in 1997, though the restoration was put on hold for many years. Work began some ten years ago, the body being treated to a bare-metal repaint in 2008, the electrics being rewired in 2009, and the engine and transmission overhauled in 2010. The original brown velour upholstery was reinstalled after the repaint, and the interior completed with new carpets. All the nickel brightwork was re-plated. Little used since the restoration's completion in 2017, this rare Vintage-era French quality car is presented in commensurately good condition and comes with current MoT and a V5C registration document.
