On behalf of the owner we are pleased to offer for sale this truly unique and very well presented Dennis 60-cwt Lorry.

​

Built as a prototype that never went into production, this lorry was kept by Dennis all its working life and interestingly was never road registered as was always run on trade plates. Clearly a useful lorry for Dennis' it had a new engine fitted in 1965 before eventually being sold on in 1968 after 35 years of service.

​

Due to its historical significance it was sold into preservation and restored in Lancashire. The original restoration saw it turned out in a yellow colour scheme, in this guise it attended the 1973 London to Brighton run. The lorry changed hands and after a period was subject to a ground up restoration back to its original Dennis colour scheme, before being put on display in the Commercial Vehicle Museum in Leyland until acquired by its present owner.

​

The bed was rebuilt as a flatbed however the original fittings etc are included should the next owner wish to put drop-sides back on.

​

The lorry has a well maintained 4 cylinder petrol engine coupled to a 4 speed gearbox, out on the road cruising speeds of 30-40mph are quite comfortable. Its size is comparable to a modern XLWB van making it a practical option for people with limited storage space. 

​

Due to its history and uniqueness it will be a great addition to any vintage vehicle collection, or it will be equally as enjoyed by an enthusiast looking for a a well-maintained and practical commercial vehicle.
