Looks quite british. ERF? AEC? |

Filmed in Norfolk England so almost certainly British, although I cannot find a radiator of that size or height. Looks as though is based on a petrol or oil tanker although it is possibly not military it could be an airport re-fueller of some type from 1950s or 1960s. |

Thanks , don't recognise it , can only agree with Sunbars comments , a very high front of cab with big gap between radiator and windscreen . Proably not a production cab but built by a coachbuilder. |

1950s Dennis, showing vague resemblance to an F8? |

I, also, think it’s a Dennis. |

like this ? was it called "Max " ? -- Last edit: 2019-12-28 20:40:48 |

Yes, there was another model called Pax, and a tractor called “Horla”, amongst many others. I think that the Max indicated maximum weight on two axles. At that time, some of the low production volume vehicles of this sort had coachbuilt cabs. It is therefore difficult to be accurate, especially with such a poor quality image. /vehicle_1071577-Dennis-Max-1947.html -- Last edit: 2019-12-28 21:16:33 |

Or a Dennis Centaur 7-8 ton with the standard cab? source /v796215.html http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/17th-july-1953/33/16---5-mpg-at-28-7-mph |

Max has the wider guards over the wheels and an offset engine in the chassis, the starting handle hole is not central. Centaur has slim guards over the wheels (wider cab probably) and a centrally placed engine (for export reasons it was produced in both RHD and LHD) and uniquely, square plates above the chassis rail ends on the cab front. The 1953 Centaur name plate is just visible running diagonally at the bottom I believe. 'Max 6' eliminated since it does not have square plate above the chassis rail ends. 1953 Centaur. All credit to Pierre in 2016, the better image from mike962 and jfs for being able to concur. |

Dennis Centaur tankers (4x2 simple truck) produced for National Benzole and Regent Oil from 1952-1953. Shell Mex used Centaur tractor units. |
