Fordson – other models: the collective page of the British commercial vehicles from Dagenham outside the named ranges, WOT 6 and BB 18 F, 62.5 kW from four to eight cylinders and gross weight up to 7,650 kg
This page gathers the Fordson vehicles the register could not assign to a named range: the types BB 18 F, WOT 6 and WOT Sussex. Fordson was Ford's commercial-vehicle brand at Dagenham in Britain from the 1930s into the 1950s; WOT stands for War Office Type, the British War Office's designation for the military trucks procured during the Second World War, among which the WOT 6 was one of the better-known.

The register lists here 5 versions with 62.5 kW from four to eight cylinders of 3,621 to 3,920 cm³ displacement. Unladen weights range from 2,180 to 6,640 kg, gross weights from 4,360 to 7,650 kg, lengths from 6,120 to 7,100 mm and widths from 1,900 to 2,340 mm.
Fordson trucks such as the WOT 6 were among the standard vehicles of the British Army during the Second World War, while the BB range was already a widespread civilian truck in Britain in the 1930s. After the Fordson brand ended in the 1950s, Ford continued commercial-vehicle production at Dagenham under its own name.
On these historic chassis, corrosion on the frame and cab, the condition of engine and gearbox after decades of standing, tyres and the braking system, and the availability of spare parts count, which for this long-discontinued brand can now practically only be found through collector circles and as reproductions.
