1951 Fordson E83W

This is a photograph that I took in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1990 at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally.

It's not listed in the programme of the event but it’s a 1951 Fordson E83W pickup truck which has a four-cylinder inline 1,172cc engine. The vehicle was in production from 1938 to 1957.

1954 Fordson E83W

I photographed this van at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.

It's not listed in the programme of the event, but it's a Fordson E83W. The DVLA record says that LBE 237 is a 1954 Ford, has a 1,500cc engine, and its colour is green. The Fordson E83W was produced between 1938 and 1957 and had a 4-cylinder inline 1,172 Ford 10hp side-valve engine with a 3-speed gearbox.

Fordson E83W

This is a photograph I took at Heaton Park, Manchester, in September 1995 at the Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally organised by the Greater Manchester Transport Society, and once again it's one that isn't included in the list of vehicles shown in the programme of the event.

It's a 1953 Fordson E83W 10cwt van, powered by the 1172cc engine which it shared with the smaller models in the Ford car range produced at that time.
