1953 Fordson E83W

Automobiles

The front and rear axles of the E83W of 1953 were much heavier than those of the saloon and the five hundredweight van, which was why the van could carry a half ton load. It was a Thames and Fordson half ton van built at Dagenham by Ford of Britain. It was sold as a Fordson and later as a Thames, and exported widely as Britain sought export sales after the war. The E83W was a half ton light commercial vehicle that Ford of Britain built at Dagenham, with a small side valve engine.
