There'll Always Be An England...

This is a 1948-vintage Foden 9 Tonner.
The model was introduced in 1937.
This one has servo-brakes and one or two other advances, made despite the war.
The dog on the right hand seat is a current model Highland Terrier, developed over millions of years by Earth Inc.
The Foden, close up, shows a wonderful sparseness, the application of Sufficiency Engineering; there is barely a stylised or hidden component anywhere.
Truly a part of any Classical education, the study of old vehicles.
