HERE WE HAVE A LOVELY OLD GIRL. A 1955 BEDFORD SBO LUTON BOX LORRY.  
SHE IS AN ORIGINAL SHEFFIELD REGISTERED LORRY WHICJ SPENT ALL OF ITS WORKING LIFE AT THE WELL KNOWN CHESTERFIELD COMPANY ROBINSONS.  THIS COMPANY STARTED IN THE 1800s AND ARE STILL PRODUCING THE SAME QUALITY ITEMS TO DATE.
I GOOD FRIEND OF MINE  KNEW ABOUT THIS FOR LORRY FOR MANY YEARS AS IT WAS PARKED IN A OLD YARD NEXT DOOR TO HIM FOR OVER 35yrs. THE YARD IS NOW BEING CLEARED AND I HAD TO SAVE IT FROM BEING SCRAPPED
IT IS FITTED WITH A 6 CYLINDER PERKINS DIESEL ENGINE AND ALTHOUGH IT WILL FIRE UP STRAIGHT AWAY ON EASY START IT WILL NOT CARRY ON RUNNING. IT IS FITTED WITH TWIN TANKS. I WOULD START FROM SIMPLY CLEANING THE FUEL LINES/FILTERS OUT TO START WITH.
THE BACK IS ALL ALLOY AND WAS MADE BY A SPECIALIST COACH BUILDERS CALLED BONALLACK
YOU CAN DRIVE THIS ON THE OLD SCHOOL CAR LICENCE AND THE TOTAL LENGTH IS 27ft 
THE UNDERSIDE IS EXTREMELY GOOD AND SOLID. NO ROY ANYWHERE.
THE BODY HAS DINTS AND SCRAPES THAT LIFE HAS BROUGHT UPON IT. SHE DID SOUTHAMPTON DOCKS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK.
THIS ONE DEFINITELY REQUIRES VIEWING. I AM HAPPY TO ARRANGE THIS WITH ANYONE GENUINELY INTERESTED.  
ALSO WOULD BE GREAT TO HERE FROM ANYONE WITH FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF ROBINSON'S LORRY FLEET. DRIVERS ETC.
INCASE THE EXCITED HAVE NOT NOTICED. IT IS ADVERTISED AS A FULL RESTORATION PROJECT.  
THIS IS SUCH A UNIQUE VEHICLE TO SELL. THEREFORE THE PRICE IS JUST A GUIDE. THE BEST OFFER AFTER 28 DAYS TAKES IT SUBJECT TO VIEWING. HOWEVER THE FIRST OFFER I THINK IS SENSIBLE AND THAT IS BACKED UP WITH A VIEWING WILL BE TAKEN. THIS BEING THE CASE ANY INTERESTED FOLKS PLEASE DONT LEAVE IT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. GET IN TOUCH!
MY NUMBER IS 07776417776 TO DISCUSS.  
ALL SENSIBLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED. HOWEVER NONE WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT A VIEWING/DEPOSIT.  
A FRIEND OF MINE CAN DELIVER THIS TRUCK ANYWHERE AT YOUR COST. Please enquire first.  
MANY THANKS FOR LOOKING .
