Roger Stuart-Andrews of Red Hill in Victoria has a nice Morris Commercial for sale:

Morris Commercial 1 ton truck (details below photos)

Manufactured late 1929.

Model R

1929

Engine # 19382R

Year of Manufacture is 1929 although the engine is stamped 1926; they had an over-supply of engines and continued to use them into 1929 using Chassis numbers 899 to 4820 during this year. You will note many references to 1926 in the paperwork but the chassis number gives the lie to that.

Seats 3

3 speed box

25 HP

Tare 1000

GVM 1500

12v system

Halogen headlights

Authentic gauges but no mileage indicator, last mileage recorded was in ??? at 248,??? miles

Side valve engine

10 quart sump

11 litre radiator

Runs on unleaded petrol with valve saver; tank holds 50 litres.

Missing rear main seal so some leak here

Laminated windscreen

Manual windscreen wiper

Radiator core is not original. In 2004 a Commodore (NPN 2500 7D4) was fitted on end so not honeycombed.

From mid-NSW, half restored with ply, sold to Townsville 20 years ago and sat in shed and rotted so stripped and rebuilt with timber

Speed about 30 mph = 50-60 kph, actually around 43 kph measured with a GPS

Tyres at 45 psi but currently at 30 – ? compromise at 40.

Worked in New South Wales and then was sent to Townsville and sat in a shed until being rebuilt for use in an SBS documentary on a century of a local family who had a vineyard – hence the barrel on the tray.

The truck was rebuilt using Australian timbers as follows:

Frame                                                  Rosewood

Panels                                                  Spotted Gum

Running Boards                                  Silky Oak

Rear mud-guards                                Silky Oak

Drop Sides and Tailgate to Tray         Meranti

Tray deck                                            Tasmanian Oak

Owned by me since 2005 and used to advertise our winery – hence the names painted on the wood-work and barrel.
