Early in 2005 I sold a few of my project trucks, leaving me with just three examples to my name, three of which are listed below with their new owners.

Want to join too? just drop me an email and send me your details!

The aim of this simple register is to unite owners of Fordson and Thames 10 cwt vehicles (1938-1957) across the world. Many E83W owners seem to reside in the UK, and as such can usually make direct contact with fellow E83W fans via classic car shows and magazines.

However an encouraging number of owners have been in touch from overseas, so the aim of this register is to allow owners to register some simple contact details on this page, which in time will hopefully allow others owners dotted around the farther reaches of the globe, to get in touch with fellow 10 cwt owners that they may never have normally come across in their own or neighbouring countries. In Australia the E83W was known as the 10 10 (Ten Ten) so if you have one, why not get in touch and add your van/pickups details.

If you would like to be included, but perhaps not show your full name or email address, then thats fine too! I wouldn't want anyone to be put off just because they were not keen on displaying their email addy etc.

If you wish to be removed for any reason, please drop me a line and I will remove you as soon as I can from the E83W Register. I hope you find this useful - the more people who join in (you're under no obligation to do anything once registered so why not join?) the better! The van or pickup you own needn't be immaculate either (mine aren't!!), just so long as you have the remains of something that resembles an E83W, thats all that matters.

Please note to deter automated email spam, I've replaced the @ character in email addresses with -at- so, if you want to contact fellow owners, remember to use the @ character instead. Contact me about joining the Register!
