- 1966 Lister Autotruck
Lister started making these 3 wheeled trucks in the 1930s. The early ones were fitted with British JAP air cooled petrol engines. By the 1950s Lister began fitting the trucks with their own air cooled diesel engines. The trucks were offered with numerous body options and build types. Typical uses would include shifting stock around warehouses where their maneuverability was excellent. Over the years Lister fitted various diesel engines of their own manufacture; LD, LR, and the ST range are three examples. Some trucks had twin cylinder engines fitted. After lister ceased production, various other firms began re manufacturing the truck to a very similar design. One such company was DPR engineering who made the trucks in the 1990s (I think) Lister autotrucks were very ruggedly made and are virtually indestructable! A great example of British over engineering.

Damn I love that thing.
Remember working on these years ago, they were everywhere at one time, I got fed up with constant punctures on the front wheel!.
fantastic little trucks i rode one of these daily for 2/12 years whilst working for b r e l derby used to carry various items around the works two speed was quite fast
I used to drive these in the late 60s and early 70s when I worked at the Mellanear Works in Bootle.😂
We can tell you are still 10 at heart. Nice autotruck
Fantastic machine, I drive a twin cylinder one quite often and its quite an animal!
watching this was music to my ears...my first job at browne baileys sheffield in 1968 was driving one of these around the factory to different departments. great video wish i owned the lister!
that looks like really good fun.
Boy I would like one of them.
Ha ha ha that looks fine I just got one of those engine and I love it
Well there's an idea for my engine !
Thanks for that.
One of the most informative and entertaining videos I`ve seen in a long while!- well done and thank you.
We used to have autotrucks (a little bigger and more modern) in the dockyards at Portsmouyh and Devonport in the 80's, great fun to drive the best trick with them was to see if you could get them "up" on 2 wheels and see if you could drive along.
Love these little trucks, and yours looks brilliant, I really like it. - Your cameraman needs a little practise in some areas, I wanted to see more of the engine whilst you were describing it, other wise a great video to watch. Thanks I enjoyed that. :-)
Great looking truck. I subscribed.
Neat!
@gertsafari Hi, It has a chain drive to the clutch then shaft drive into the gearbox. Get your's going would love to see it. Cheers
How much do these go for now? I love old small engines. Would love anything lister powered but perhaps not looking in right places. Always hanging around the mechanical displays at the Kent Show so will ask next year!
Very nice, how does the drive down to the wheel work and the two speeds? I have a two speed electric start twin i must still fetch from my mothers farm.
Thanks for your comment, And yes i know what you mean, my son was the camera man! Getting some more videos of some of my engines coming up, watch this space!
camera man could show mostly engine ))) and in general is evil doer by character and intentions
You need a new camera man, he had camera pointed just at your face when he should of been pointing at the engine while you were telling us about it.
jimthvac100 I know; it was my son and he was quite young and inexperienced. He is a lot better now. He went to the New York academy and now works in the film industry in Mexico!!!!! Couldn't make it up !!!! Still got the old truck. Cheers
