dsl ◊ 2016-09-13 12:22	Any ideas what sort of Superpoise?? Maybe a Q15???? We need to do a sorting-out-of-names amongst our Superpoises. Several are listed as Superpoise [Qx], but we also have batches as Qx Superpoise. Which is the best name??
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2016-09-13 12:38	This is a "Mk I" version, introduced in1939. It had a range of capacities from 1 1/2 to 5 tons, starting at Q15. This looks like twin rear wheels so I would think it's a bigger one. Try this: - http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p895410596 -- Last edit: 2016-09-13 12:43:15
