Solved - MJW #339 - Shelvoke & Drewry SPV Patroller

[guido66]

From a lawn-mower manufacturer?

[woodinsight]

Nothing to do with lawn mowers.
These were full size commercial vehicles albeit with very small wheels (usually) and normally employed in a specific street service.

Dennis?

[woodinsight]

Not Dennis but you're on the right track so to speak......

[neilshouse]

Shelvoke & Drewry?

[woodinsight]

Shelvoke & Drewry?

That's the beast!
Can you also provide me with a model name?
Locked for you.....

[neilshouse]

Is it called the SPV? (Special Purpose Vehicle).

[woodinsight]

That is part of the model name.
It is the Shelvoke & Drewry SPV Pxxxxxxer
Still locked for you to complete it.

[neilshouse]

Bit stuck on this one, there is an SD Carmichael Jetranger, so my best guess is Shelvoke & Drewry SPV Paceranger.
If it's not correct please unlock.

[woodinsight]

Let me help you a bit more as you're not far away.

Locked for you until your next reply

[neilshouse]

Thank you, it must be a Patroller. If it's not I'm giving up!

[woodinsight]

Shelvoke & Drewry SPV Patroller it is!
It was only fair to give you a chance as you were almost there anyway.
Well done.

Having lived in the same town as Shelvoke & Drewry for a very long time (even in the residential part of the same road!) I should have known it. They used to bring their latest product to have its photo taken by the photographer that lived 10 doors from me, but this might have been a bit big for that!

[woodinsight]

Thanks for that Allan_L

Just to reiterate for a moment, when I gave the clue that many of their models had very small wheels, the following photo shows what I meant.
