I cannot give a exact reason why i would like one! However there is a little bit of a backstory around the mid 90's there was about 3 of them in a partly used local small holding yard that has been there for years and was used to store stuff in. so last week i thought i would go back and see if they was still there but it was hard to say for sure as the yard is now totaly abandoned and completely overgrown . i did take some photos back in the 90's and will dig them out and post some pics up. Does anyone know of any? or anything much about them Heres a pic i found online

Would be interested to hear what happens, as the manufacturer was based about 2miles from where I live

There’s is a company in Kidderminster called Roxel (Formerly British aerospace) that had a fleet of these for moving rocket motors around the site. My father in law worked there for over 30 years il speak to him as he may have some pics

Used to see these in and around Southampton Docks. Royal Mail still use the modern equivalent. Oh, and I fully understand your need to have one . . . .

Hi, Well done, I kept looking up Bagnall, Lansing Bagnall and Bradshaw for it, obviously to no avail. Colin

There were different versions of these - some were larger with a flat bed and used for milk floats - they were some with a barrel roofed covered body that were used has dust carts / bin lorries

Looks like the The Transport Museum at Wythall has a battery vehicle collection and may be good for research wythall.org.uk/elec.asp

Its the barrel type roof version that I'm after . I'm going to go back for a second look this week to see if there is anything left !
if its not possible to find one if i could get some diamentions it would not out of the question to build one as it looks like aluminium covered with a small angle iron frame for the body.
They was obviously road registered so what type of Mot or tax class would they be?

I notice that some of them used fibreglass panels. They did need tax for road use but goodness knows what this would be??

My ancient Mao's Little Red Book licence had a specific licence category for Pedestrian Controlled Vehicle, but apparently this licence class no longer exists:
This might be a starting point:

I keep seeing electric motorised wheelchairs at boot fairs for pennies - would be easy to create your own manuelectric.
