This suggests that Dennis was still supplying F12s in 1961, although I have always been told that the F24/27/28 series were introduced a few years earlier.

Did Dennis produce both series alongside each other at this time? Or do I have my F20 introduction dates wrong?

588 BJF was on chassis no:4442, supplied 31/5/61, but chassis nos:4441/3 where supplied in 1959, this suggests this the last F12 was left hanging around. F24 started 1957.

An F12 with a Rolls B81 engine?

Thanks - I did not realize Dennis built these "on spec" and kept a few of them hanging around for years waiting for buyers!
