    Good morning, wondering if anyone can help?
    I have just acquired this 3 Wheeled truck and wondered if anyone could help with identification?
    It has a Villers engine and Albion Gearbox.

    Also, the Drive Sprocket on the engine is missing, can anyone tell me any details on this, i.e size, number of teeth etc?

    Any other information on this machine would be greatly appreciated

    Many thanks

    It could be a Wrigley, or based on one.

    It looks like a Geest truck, made by Geest, the same company associated with bananas.

    I do not know models, but trucks were manufactured from the 1950s to the 1970s. Addresses were advertised as Geest Industries Limited (Truck Division) Spalding, Lincolnshire, and Marsh Lane Truck Factory, Boston, Lincolnshire

    Brian Bell’s book ’70 Years of Garden Machinery’ briefly mentions Geest with Villiers air-cooled engines and three-speed Albion gearboxes as the 10cwt 1.25hp model MT2/1, and the 1 ton 3hp model MT2/3.
