The truck in the post above is a "Truck, 3 ton, 4x4, tipper, with winch, FV13219" Usually refered to as a Commer Q4. Mostly built in 1952 and fitted with a 95hp side valve 6 cylinder petrol engine and a 5 ton winch. The basic vehicle was the FV13201 GS cargo truck. There were never great numbers in service and they tended to be used in more obscure roles, Bedfords being much more numerous. One of the best that I have seen - definately should be saved.
