Please note that in the Truckline brochure that DeanB has posted the Axminster 89 even has the yellow headlights. Now there’s a proper company, duly respectful of National regulations. Was it yours Dennis?I’ve just realised that about 95% of the people who read this will be saying to themselves ‘yellow headlights, what is the silly old [zb] going on about?’ Well it was a while ago I suppose. But who remembers how cross they used to get with vehicles that had white lights?

no david unfortunately the f89 was not mine .think the driver might have been henri who held the record for the fastest time from chard to poole ferry terminal with hanging beef . Having loaded there yourself not the best of roads to travel and always pushed for time to catch the boat . I had one of the Renaults at the time comfortable enough machine but could never match the f89 for power. Dennis
Dennis, what was the record then ■■?
Dean can’t really remember that long ago but it wasn’t the best of roads up to crewkerne up thro’ the gap I cant remember what it was called across the top and down thro’ maiden newton and on to Dorchester then to poole . The road from crewkerne was that narrow on the left hookers we used to pull in driver’s side mirror arms and clip the hedges all the way along .You had to slow down another truck but cars and vans it was keep pedal to the metal as they used to say in those days.
Cliff thanks for the photos glad you had a great weekend bet your right arm aches ha ha . den
