The Thornycroft Nubian 6×6 dates from the 1950s. It has a 6.6-litre Rolls Royce B81 petrol engine and a fuel consumption of a "few miles to the gallon", or is it v.v.?

Rear suspension uses the War Department's subsidy scheme design of upper and lower leaf springs arranged to resist torque effects while still allowing good axle movement.

This Thornycroft Nubian 6×6 fire-engine, once of Essendon airport, is now at the Melbourne Fire Musuem.
