The Commer VC (Perkins engine and a few petrol) and CC (TS diesels) ranges were the replacements for the VB and CB trucks due to more stringent gvw regulations in the UK. At the same time although the chassis weights increased marginally the range was revised upwards. VB was 4-Ton, 5-Ton, 6-Ton and 7-Ton VC was 5-Ton (9.5 gross), 7-Ton (10.7 gross), 8-Ton (13 gross) and 12-Ton (18.75 gross). This looks to be a 8-Ton (13 gross) VC. -- Last edit: 2019-07-17 15:00:03
