| London Transport bought nearly 100 Ford E83W vehicles in the late-1940s and early-1950s. Most were normal vans (like 801F) but there were also several minibuses (known as Utilecons, and illustrated by 1034F), while 13 were bodied as 'Laundry Vans', these having a more upright windscreen and a taller, boxier body for bulkier loads. Most of the Laundry vans were actually used by the Publicity Department and other photos in the Michael Clark collection show how the interiors were fitted out. Shown here is 760F, probably when new in late-1949 or early-1950. It was later allocated to Putney Garage, with spells at Walthamstow and Clapton before it was withdrawn in 1961. |
