0VTU 291 E, This is what It looked like when I bougth It from Sellers & Kent. Regards Larry (Not My Picture).I guess that would have been towards the end of the S21 era? What did you mainly haul?
Haha, Bob Sellers and Tony Kent were still running S21 cabbed Fodens on bag and tanker work well into the late 1970’s, they also had an S20 cabbed four wheeler with the four cylinder two stroke engine that was carting bags from our quarry when I started there in 1975 so they got their moneysworth from their machinery! We had a couple of their drivers come to us at Tilcon and were chuffed when they were given a five year old S50 halfcab Foden to drive as they had power steering and a proper seat!
Pete.
I have never sat in one but to be pleased with a Foden half cab!
Thanks Lawrence for the work explanation.
I will have to see if I can find the one and only picture of Dad’s 1973 S80 180.
