54 years ago today my 1 Ton made its way to dispatch at Rover, part of the first batch of 1 Tons built, as part of an order for Southern Electricity Board.  Still going strong today, the oldest 1 Ton known to still be on the road.

Happy Birthday! You can never have enough One Tonnes!

.....and I've had the privilege of being a passenger in it for 2 laps round the Thruxton Racing Circuit. It holds the lap record for a 2 tonne (about 6 minutes).

Should be 1 tonne. Too late to edit.

Thank you. Did you work for SEB?

[JonB]

I did 👍 I was a linesman at frome, then Salisbury, then ended up at Melksham as keith Jeffries teams manager.

We’ve messaged on the ex-seb board site about our 6x6s and v8s
