Looks like a real 'Friday afternoon' build motor..and click through here for more
This one presumably came with an extra heavy duty alternator....
This one is dedicated to (possibly) 'Diamond Jim Pete Lynch who may (or may not) have made his fortune on the Melbourne Cup last week.....
Ad to finish the ultimate three-wheeler delivery van....eat your heart out Piaggio!
I don't know what is it, but the first one is beautiful.
Hello BLB from a press test in wet & grey Ireland - I don't know the top one but the strange Friday afternoon "use this chassis frame up" motor is a French Latil timber tractor. The three wheeler which looks like a van body eating a motorbike I think is a Raleigh. Regards 12 speed.
As I posted before, the first one is one of the earlier Holland Coachcraft vans on Commer chassis built for the laundry Collars, LTD. Probably around 1933. Here is a later version: http://www.chrishodgephotos.co.uk/pixcma2/aak242.jpg

Thank you for discovering the Holland Coachcraft photo and posting it. I have been researching this company and this truck is a new one for me. Do you have other photos or information on Holland? Perhaps we could share information. There is an excellent article in Vol. 180 of Heritage
Commercials (U.K.), about the founder William Hawthorn Holland, but there are a limited number of pictures.
