This will take place at Churchfields, Chessington, KT9 2HD on Thursday May 28th 2026. Note that the site is in the London ULEZ area and if vehicles are not exempt, the organisers would gladly pay the charge for that day. For details of the event and a vehicle entry form, please see:- www.celebratechessington.co.uk www.celebratechessington.co.uk/vintage-vehicle-display Dennis Society - 27th April 2026 Coming Soon - New Book - A History of Dennis Motor Mowers This long awaited book written by the late Malcolm Hemley and Brian Buxton will shortly be available. Much of the text was written over 30 years ago and thanks to Malcolm's executors it has been possible to recover the original manuscript. The book runs to 70 pages with over 45 illustrations, many in colour. The book covers motor mowers built between 1922 and 1960, giving a detailed component by component analysis of changes over the years. "A History of Dennis Motor Mowers" will be 'launched' at the annual rally of the Old Lawnmower Club at Milton Keynes on 17th May, and will be available to purchase in person then or by ordering from the Dennis Society web site. The work should answer all your Dennis Motor Mower questions, and more!

It was rebuilt over roughly 12 years by a private engineer and later sold via Car & Classic. I believe it may be linked to the Fire Brigade Society / Geoff Pritchard archive. Does anyone know who carried out the restoration or who owned it during that time? Contact the Secretary secretary@dennissociety.org.uk James Vernon - 21st January 2026 FOR SALE 1937 Dennis dropside Advancing years and looming property sale force the disposal of my 1937 3 ton lorry. This is a project and is partially dismantled (but stil movable), it comes with a replacement engine which is in A1 order. Photos show one before the lorry was partially dismantled, one of it partially dismantled and one of the 'new' engine. All the body parts are 'saved' for either repair or use as templates. The engine cost me £1,000 in 2012. I am looking for a nominal £250 for the vehicle plus £1,000 for the engine that would be £1,250.
