hey ERF, yes roping and sheeting days but with cables instead of ropes, easy to put them on if they were
coiled after a while of using, and hook plates which felt on your head if the cables get stuck. 
On that pic if you look to the new numberplate launched in the begining of the '50’s , it must have been
driven for a long time after war. Think big lorries weren’t built after WWII.
Here a couples with old plates. Could it be that they had a Perkins in them after rebuilt■■?
Because an old mate ( a native of Antwerp) told me years ago that Minerva diesels were a real disaster.
Good in the '20’s but soon layed of because of the Knight system.
Bye Eric,
