Another day, another D....

[tbone]

This is `Reg` (short for Regina), like her younger sister `Ellie` ( older readers may remember her), she is a D type engine made by R.A. Lister & Co.
She was made in 1937 and when I bought her a couple of months ago, she was a non - runner.
After a complete re-build she nows runs like a dream and will sit and `pop` away all day long.

Not 100% finished as I still need to re-paint her and find her a better trolley to sit upon

Cheers Mike, they`d be very welcome  
I had planned on getting L and sold my trailer mounted, tank cooled D  but even then i realised i would still need more space!

I`ll keep one of the other 2 D`s, (both 1940`s) probably the earlier one, then try and find one from the twenty`s.
i do have an A on my shopping list, but funds are very limited at the moment

thats a lister  autotruck powered by a lister LD2 between 5 and 7.5hp and by the looks of it .. it was sheffield registered and if my memory is correct the main dealer for autotrucks in that area was wilsons at sheffield the same people that were ferguson dealers

full of old useless cr#p info  me,,,,

[digger06]

this un was still running too, but it was a bit of a slow un, we adapted it to pullback bars and an easy rider seat (office leather chair bolted on)
wish i had took a pic of that !!

the electrician used to use it as a runabout

[tbone]

Twas 1954 when the LD series was fitted to Autotruck`s so that first picture will be at the latter end of your year range  .

A few years earlier......the production line at Dursley

[spanners]

funny aint it    but the early ,lister,, autotrucks  were fitted with a  ,JAP,, 600cc side valve petrol engine 

[digger06]

ah, when britain made stuff that was good
