This one is very similar to the preserved Foden Wagon 4 n.h.p. 5 ton, Works No. 8304, 'Cheshire Pride', Reg. No. [BY 7646] from 1918. With the registration number from the same region (Croyden) and only a slightly smaller number I assume that it was also made in 1918 with a Works No. in the range of 8200 - 8300. It is even possible that the first owner ran both trucks.
