Class 4- Articulated vehicle, not fitted with automatic transmission, the tractive unit of which does not exceed two tons unladen weight.

Class 4a- Articulated vehicle, fitted with automatic transmission, the tractive unit of which does not exceed two tons unladen weight.

I can’t think what motor might have been a Class 4.
When I worked at National Carriers they had tiny Ford “D” Series but they were Class 1.
I missed the 3 wheel Scammells but didn’t they pre - date the HGV licences?
