Perhaps someone has books on dumpers. The number of makers is limited. This one is two-wheel-drive from around 1950-60, I guess. In Germany Zettelmayer was the first to produce dumpers in 1947, followed by Orenstein & Koppel in 1954. The idea started in the US and soon spread over all countries.
As this is a South-African film which was made in Botswana it is most likely that it is a US or British make.

Let's see who will identify it: the hunt is on!

That is a very good tip, indeed!

I found a (not very good) picture of a Barford brochure (showing model Bison, Beaver, or Bantam of 1970).

Let me take that down as the maker. I will make some enquiries which model this one is.

If you can even identify that, how come that there are still so many unidentified cars on the site ? :lol:
Nice work ;)

Well, that is teamwork at its best! :)
With a good hint you can find almost anything!

PS: I just sent an eMail to the Barford company. Let's see if they can confirm it.

Aveling-Barford,a Brand merged by Leyland into '60s(recall those front tipper bucket trucks thru a Dinky model toy seen on a 1977-78 catalogue)

Also the tent-roofed bus isn't less interesting,being a 1970 circa Nissan Civilian modified as desert shuttle-bus

Aveling-Barford became part of Wordsworth Holdings which set up a new branch of small site dumpers under the name Barford.
Have a look at the eighth paragraph here.

Actually I don't want to deprive all the others of the fun of identifying an unknown vehicle! :D
With every sixth new make being identified or send in by me I am already very selfish! ;)

But how do you know that it's not a Benford or a Thwaites?? It looks to have room only for a small two cylinder Lister or Petter engine, which would indicate those two makes.
