Pete, I think you’ll find that’s not a Dennis but a Maudslay, looks like a Mogul MK1 with a trailing third axle conversion. Got the wartime grille but big headlights so probably early post-war.

Hi Bernard,
The pic has no details on but I have blown it up and looked at the badge on the rad but could not make up my mind! Looking at front hubs and rear driving axle made me think it was a Dennis, no one to ask now as they have all passed away 
Here is a picture of a Chevvy that Barry Grainger restored, I can remember him making some new spokes for the wheels, Thank You for the info Bernard.
According to the owner this bus is a Pax V , which is the same model as the lorry ,it has a Perkins 6354 ,Dennis over drive box and single speed axle ,I was lucky to a ride around Conwy ,Llandudno and the great orm .
Just seen an old Dennis for sale on eBay down Carmarthen way sorry can’t do the link it looks like a late 50s one
There’s one for sale in a classic magazine ,I phone about it that too was from the 50s a petrol one that need a new chassis .

Maudslay! Just pre- WW2, they all had exotic model names, I think that 6-legger is a Maharajah.

Thanks for the Info “albion1938”, Regards Larry.
Back in the early '80s I delivered a few loads of axles to Dennis in Guildford from Kirkstall Forge in Leeds. If I remember correctly there were front and rear axles on the loads.

My Dad used to take scrap in to kirkstall from smethwick .
I wonder if they still produce axles their,? I used to load them for delivery to Coles Cranes at Sunderland in the 60/70s, Of course they are closed down, Regards Larry.

If you’re referring to Kirkstall Forge (GKN) the whole site wasn’t flattened a few years back. It’s currently being redeveloped as housing and offices, it even has it own station, “Kirkstall Forge” on the Leeds-Skipton line.
