Tuesday 30 November 2027: <b>The Bill Richardson Classic Commercial Memorial Rally, Invercargill.</b> At the bottom of the world 320 beautifully-presented trucks gathered to honour an incredible individual. 30 classics from the North Island crossed the ferry to the South Island. Many others joined them on the way, with 60 in the convoy by the time they reached Invercargill. The Saturday run stopped for tea at some of the Richardson company yards.

Trucks crisscrossed the streets with much tooting, light flashing & friendly waving between drivers & passengers. There has never been anything like it in New Zealand. 72 pictures & text by Howard Pettigrew.

1973 Mercedes Benz 1418 DQS349, one of a number in attendance and a very popular truck in NZ. The only problem with the original model was the slow road speed, around 70kph. Many had Eaton tandem drives fitted and Roadranger overdrive gearboxes added to overcome this problem. (Howard Pettigrew) 1965 Mack B series CAW576, one of three in attendance although never used in NZ. Pinched from Australia: the only one that was RHD. (Howard Pettigrew) 1938 Ford 81T 'Barrel Nose' V8 3-tonner. (Howard Pettigrew) Working Kenworth 924 CBT309 with right-hand drive rolling on the road run. (Howard Pettigrew) Utes such as 1947 International KB1 SP899 had a great reputation for reliability and were very popular with transport firms, contractors & farmers. As there was an International factory in Christchurch the make is well represented in the South Island. (Howard Pettigrew) 1971 International 1840 US1128 with V8 engine and a nice Australian bodied ute on the back. (Howard Pettigrew) Jack Soper drove this Leyland Comet from near the bottom of the South Island up to the top of the island to meet the trucks coming from the North Island to join them in the Big Tour, 2500 kms over some of the most diverse scenery you will ever find in one island. (Howard Pettigrew) 1973 White Road Boss LB5371. (Howard Pettigrew) 1976 International Paystar 5000 UD9352 with Fordson crawler on the back. (Howard Pettigrew) This 1976 Scammell Crusader came down from well up in the North Island, driven all the way and back again by a legend in the New Zealand transport industry, 81 year old Stan Williamson. (Howard Pettigrew) The only Foden on the tour, a rare for NZ 1977 4-axle Cummins-powered S83, one of only 2 - the other being powered by Rolls-Royce. (Howard Pettigrew) Peter Vincent's 1970 Leyland Octopus, a very special truck with 150 ton diffs & wide guard cab, 690 Turbo powered. Worked on by Vic Draper's restoration team for the run. Vic brought three Leylands down from the North Island, all restored to 'as new' (or better!) condition. (Howard Pettigrew) 1960 ex-airport International AA160 4x4 fire engine CX4677. (Howard Pettigrew) 1965 Mercedes Benz 1418 of Frews Transport with mechanic Rex Miller at the wheel. (Howard Pettigrew) One of a number of the earliest Kenworths imported into NZ for forestry work in the North Island. Canadian-built with Cummins power and quite primitive cabs. The White on the back didn't quite make it to the parade! (Howard Pettigrew) 1960 LAD Leyland Super Comet ARD903 did the whole trip around the South Island even though the owner lives not far from the Richardson Museum. Hiding under the sheet is a 1918 International 2-ton Model K. (Howard Pettigrew) This Vauxhall-based 1948 Bedford PC ute came from a small town in the lower half of the North Island and will have done over 3,000 kms in 10 days by the time it got back home! (Howard Pettigrew) Roy Grainger's immaculate 1939 Diamond T 305, the only vehicle Bill Richardson ever sold out of the collection as he had two! (Howard Pettigrew) 1958 Austin 301 AS2433 from the Richardson collection. (Howard Pettigrew) 1950 Austin A40 pickup. (Howard Pettigrew) 1939 Chevrolet JA9669, a very popular model in NZ and plenty survive. Very popular for runs as they can bowl along quite nicely. (Howard Pettigrew) 1968 Ford F100 pick-up with left hand drive. (Howard Pettigrew) 1953 Fordson E494C DGL101 on British number plates. (Howard Pettigrew) 1983 Bedford TM4400 with GM two-stroke power. Looks and sounds gorgeous. (Howard Pettigrew) Not much info on this Morris-Commercial LC3 apart from the obvious - an early model, c.1950? (Howard Pettigrew) Robert Caulfield brought three lorries down from the North Island including this awesome LAD Leyland Octopus of 1966 vintage. A lot of these trucks would be doing 4000 kms of tough going over 16 or so days before they got back home! (Howard Pettigrew) Autocar DC64B, a very rare truck which sounded terrific! A few of these with a tag or lazy (undriven) axle in front of the two rear drivers were imported into New Zealand for concrete work. They fell foul of the regulations and were eventually sold for next to nothing. (Howard Pettigrew) 1954 Mack B41 imported from the US but not been seen before the rally. Driven all the way down from the bottom of the North Island. (Howard Pettigrew) 1948 Ford Bonus DU8043. (Howard Pettigrew) 1939 Diamond T 404 H15.784 from the Bill Richardson Museum collection. (Howard Pettigrew) 1950 Chevrolet Thriftmaster YP5833. Note the blue 'trailer attached' light on the roof. Orange fog lights were a very 1965 IH AB150, a very popular farmer's truck. (Howard Pettigrew) Still-active Kenworth 925 recovery RM9606 is a couple of hundred Kms away from its home in Dunedin, a very Scottish city in the south of NZ nicknamed the Edinburgh of the South! (Howard Pettigrew) New Zealand got a lot of these Ford Cabovers during the war years and quite a number survive. This 1942 model is from the top of the South Island. (Howard Pettigrew) Very tidy 1963 Bedford J3CLZ, repowered with a 330 Bedford, supposedly originally 300 petrol powered. (Howard Pettigrew) Nice Bedford TJ still in regular use, CW8215 from 1967. (Howard Pettigrew) 1979 Bedford TK JH7718 is a working farm truck still with the original owner. (Howard Pettigrew) 1936 International C1 - absolutely gorgeous, as was the 1937 D2 estate car alongside. (Howard Pettigrew) 1948 Fordson E83W 10cwt with dropside body. (Howard Pettigrew) 1947 Ford 1-ton AB1100, V8 power, believed to have been built in Canada. (Howard Pettigrew) 1968 Austin A60 DR8907 was one of a number of utes in attendance at the Bill Richardson Classic Commercial Memorial Rally. (Howard Pettigrew) 1966 White 2064 EDW767. Like many US imports it is right hand drive. (Howard Pettigrew) Noel Galloway's 1969 Perkins-powered Commer VB all the way from central North Island. Noel has over 15 Commers of different models going back to a 1938 N series that will be restored very soon, plus the last Commer (1983 Dodge RG) registered in NZ. All his restos are done to a high standard. (Howard Pettigrew) 1973 Kenworth 924 LX6425 'Concorde' is an incredibly famous truck in New Zealand, one of two built, this one for North Island logging operator Mike Lambert. It is in remarkable condition considering it has done 6.1 million miles! (Howard Pettigrew) 1969 Dodge 969T JE1478, one of many that joined the Big Tour at lunchtime on the last day just out of Invercargill. The Garrity Brothers Transport Company has been operating in the same small North Island town for over 100 years. Apart from the 37 Chev on the back, they also have an Austin K4 back at home plus many Commers. (Howard Pettigrew) Just to show the variety at the event is a 1928 General Motors. The tank in the backgound belongs to a WWII 6x6 GMC. (Howard Pettigrew) Mike Houghton's 1968 Leyland 'Beaver Steer' 16BT1AR BZE395 was originally 4x2 and converted to 6x2 by the Leyland NZ branch. This truck was also fitted with a lifting tag axle making it an 8x2. Found abandoned and with the 4th axle removed, Mike has carried out a fantastic restoration. (Howard Pettigrew) Semi-retired 1960 LAD Leyland Comet P13100. (Howard Pettigrew) Vic Draper's 1964 Leyland Hippo won the people's choice prize award, the only prize given over the weekend. Vic commented that any one of the entrants could have won, and he accepted the award behalf of all entrants. The Hippo has been built up from FIVE trucks, the original 680 PP 200hp replaced by a 690 turbo 240 with Leyland 7-speed box. An absolute beauty that sounded as brilliant as it looked. (Howard Pettigrew) New Zealand had Commer RGs powered with Chrysler 340 V8 petrols. Apart from Australia, did any other country get these? This is a very low mileage example, only averaging 2000 kms a year over its 30 year life; not surprising as it consumed nearly $NZ700 worth of petrol to get it from its home at the top of the South Island to Invercargill. (Howard Pettigrew)

Designed for shifting semi-trailers short distances around warehouses, wharves, railway yards and so on, it had a special kind of automatic coupling designed by Scammell. The earlier version of this type was known as the Mechanical Horse and the technology behind this came from Karrier who basically gave it away to Scammell after producing a similar design for a few years in the early 30s.

(HP/RC103) 1952 Karrier KT222; engine: Commer 6-cyl ohv 6; chassis no 34A0020. The New Zealand Rootes Group importers, Todd Motors, used badge engineering to sell more trucks in the 50s and 60s. They would set up separate dealers in one town / city - one dealing in Humber, Commers and Sunbeams and another dealing in Hillman, Karriers and Singers or some similar arrangement. Starting with the Q series and going through to the last of the CD7s and including the B series, Commer models were badged as Karriers, often having minor trim changes. With two dealers selling similar models in competition, the end result was that Rootes Group sold more trucks. 'True' Karrier models - Gamecock and Bantams were also sold. Exhibit was bought new by D.M.Thomson of Pukemaori and went back to Hart Motors, the Karrier dealers, in 1953. It was immediately sold to JW Clarke of Centre Bus from whom it was purchased in 1999.
