- Had this old truck since about 1990. Bought it for about £200.
It has the pig swill tank mounted on the chassis. This was its first outing for many years; as it was stuck behind a load of other stuff and had a flat tyre. Started up instantly and runs sweet. Lovely old machine and so solidly built. - Наука та технологія
Used to drive one of these back in the 70s in a brickworks transporting bricks to a kiln happy memories
That’s so cool ! Thanks for sharing !😊
Lovely! I have a flat bed with the same single speed LD1 setup currently undergoing restoration. I didn't know they were that nippy!
that's a bonnie piece of machinery.
Your video was such a help to me. I have designed the frame and ring. I'll look forward to some views of the underside.
bgdavenport yes I will try and get over to the unit.
That would be good for a sponsored round-the-world adventure!
Fascinating. Thank you.

You are too kind. When you look @ your autotruck, can you tell me the diameter of the drive wheel? Is it the same as the carriage wheels? In some pictures it appears to be the same. In others, not. BTW, as a thanks, can I send a model to you? It's 1/72 (Airfix) scale...quite tiny!
Is it available on sale
Just found your rather excellent video! I am designing a 1/72 scale (Airfix scale) kit of your machine for a friend who is working on a James Bond 007 Goldfinger diorama. Your Lister appears for a few frames in the scene where Goldfinger's RRoyce is being loaded on the BAF Carvair, which I also designed for my friend. Any chance you might post another video showing the undercarriage and front drive wheel details? Have the machine specs from the Lister site. I just need a few more pics to complete my design study. I know you have other things to do, so no worries, mate, if you cannot.
Hi, Its in storage at the moment, but will try and get a video of the underneath for you!!! Sounds like an interesting project, glad you enjoyed the video!! cheers and best wishes. John
Hi I'm researching a two piston lister auto truck. It's in perfect running condition but I couldn't find some specifications about the engine because the plates which have the specifications are erased off. I can send some photos and videos of the auto truck and I would be very grateful if someone can help me to find out those specifications like horsepower, max torque, max load, etc.
