Utility

Denis Matthewman bought this from
Brian Fox in early 2007. Brian had rescued the remains from a field near
Leconfield, Beverley and rebuilt it with great ingenuity.
Very few Standard Tillys have survived and this one supports the
original Census No which was discovered below the tailgate. Completed in 2005
it has proved very reliable and is powered by a Standard 12HP 4 Cylinder side
valve engine of 1609cc. Unlike the other Tillys made by
Austin
, Hillman and Morris this was not based on a pre war car. It
was a real pleasure being entertained whilst talking to Dennis in his private
beer tent at the back of the Tilly!
