One Ton Series 3 Landy

Yes, that is correct Hobbit. The OneTon 109-inch was designed to safely carry a Ton within the limits. However, it is believed that a OneTon 109-inch can carry about 1.5 tons before problems are encountered, which is due to Rover/Leyland predicting that the vehicle would be pushed beyond the specified limits.

:lol: Hell the loads we put on them, those figures were just the specification the shape of the springs and loads on the tyres, the series when in convoy was the reason they used to be so slow, especially with a trailer on the back loaded down to the axles. The big old Larkspur radios, 12v 100ah batteries and everything else, with some unfortunate signaller squeezed into the back corner freezing his perishables off :lol:
