... or Comet? http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p671187076/h119e2a3e#h119e2a3e I'm also unsure if Badger also existed with this cab? Not being able to offer anything else...Any votes? -- Last edit: 2016-09-18 14:05:47 |

Looking at the wheelbase I think you might be right with Comet. Well, let's face it, I just wanted to type Beaver!, really. No recollection of any Badgers with that version of cab. -- Last edit: 2016-09-18 14:40:03 |

No Badgers found... Comet and Comet '90' appears to be lighter applications Beaver was the 'Heavy Duty' truck as advertised. Both had platform and tractor units. Little (nothing? to date) found in the CM archive for Road Tests & Technical Desc. in the 1950s before the LAD cab models. |

'Full Frontal' forward control cab introduced on Comet 90 in October 1953. Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" "The new Comet 90 ..(90 bhp Oil engine).. model is the forerunner of a new range of forward-control Comets which will augment the existing semi-forwardcontrol machines." Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" 1948 Comet introduced as a semi-forward control (n/c essentially) truck (mainly for export) as 6-7 tons 1951 Comet 90 replaced the Comet with 90hp engine. 1954 Comet 90 was 7-8 ton truck (n/c and f/c). 1949 Beaver was 12-ton truck with a 125hp engine. -- Last edit: 2016-09-18 19:19:08 |
