Thames Trader turns into something else when it falls down a cliff. Can anyone identify what it is ?![]() ![]() |

Looks kind of like a Unimog. |

If the one falling off the cliff has a role i'd list it. |

He said it: it is supposed to be the same as the main one. I would not list it separately. I guess that Ingo & Garco's comments where related to the girl rather than the truck ![]() -- Last edit: 2008-12-22 15:16:22 |

I think the 'Thames Trader' committing suicide is Made for Movie, probably by someone who never saw a Thames Trader. I wouldn't list it either, if only to spare the blushes of the props. department. |

The truck going over the cliff is a 1940's Blitz Wagon. These were a 4WD truck manafactured for use in WW2. If you want to see one there is a model of one converted after the war to a rural fire truck in Australia on the following site. www.topgear.com.au (the trucks are under the trux menue) In relation to the girl she should have won the arse of the year award for those shorts and it is a pity we did not get to see the front. It is now 40 years since that photo I wonder did she keep that body all these years. ![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2009-01-29 23:50:34 |

Mango, your Blitz Wagon seems to be a Chevrolet C15, probably built by Holden, but I don't think the thumbnail is a C15. I note what you say about the other feature of the main picture, but frankly I doubt it ![]() |

I always thought those Thames Traders looked like Unimogs with mid-1950's Ford grilles. The same goes for the Ford N-Series trucks, and the GM B-Series LCF trucks of the 1960's. -- Last edit: 2013-11-24 16:41:04 |
