At Hull Museum in the 1980s we converted a 1950 Ford Thames. It had been used as a mobile tower for the Tram wires, Bought from a sale of ex civil defence mobile offices. As it was hardly used in either role it only had 8.000 miles on it. An electric winch and removable tilt made it quite adaptable. The photo shows it in another guise as a parade display. As the vehicles are no longer allowed to be used its probably sitting dead in a shed. I would hate to feed it now 12 to the gallon was bad then at £6+ today it would be too much.
