Hi lads.
Any ideas what make ( Benford I think ) this is ? Possible age and is it rear wheel drive ? I know the photos are crap. I am half thinking of buying it if its the rear wheel drive. Its a non runner ...... Maybe I am just being fooled by the big tyres on the back . Any help or ideas apreciated.

Re: Another identidy crisis
Its a Johnson 2HG , and they are rear wheel drive , idea was the weight of the engine and 'Fat Bert' on the driving seat gave traction to drive wheels when unladen , it also gave incredibly heavy steering with skip full of concrete ! Wimpeys had loads of them in 70s / 80s.
Lots of info here from someone restoring one -
