Details
Introduced in 1957 the all new forward control Ford Thames Trader range covered load capacities from 2 to 5 tons and was offered with petrol or diesel 4-6 cylinder engines, the latter being the first ever Ford developed and manufactured diesel units. Many variants were available including tippers, flat-beds, tankers and articulated tractor units, but this particular model features a box van body on a 5 ton chassis. Production of the Thames Trader continued until 1965 when it was superseded by another entirely new range of Ford vehicles – the D series. Non-limited Edition
