It took a bit of remembering and working out but as a youngster in the 50's & 60's I used to catch the bus to school on the old A1 and most of the old model lorries and cars were imprinted on my young and impressionable memory.
Guy, Atkinson, Seddon, Foden , AEC , ERF ....the list goes on ..
Fordson also produced tractors and the one shown was the forerunner of the Thames Trader, one of which we had on the farm in the sixties to take the cattle to markets around the North and up to Edinburgh. I used to love to sit in the cab , high above the hedgerows.
In answer to the question above that particular model Fordson was first produced in 1937 in Essex at Dagenham .
