An interesting engine choice in this 30/4 if the badge is honest. ■■■■■■■ was an option offered but I cannot remember coming across many 30/4s with that particular option. A smart and cared for Seddon though.
0Hi gingerfold, there’s a bit of info with the Len Rogers picture, might have had a transplant at sometime.
“Seddon model 30. T. Cooper. This model was built in the late 60’s and was the last model made before Seddon bought Atkinson and eventually became Seddon Atkinson. The truck was seen at Deptford, London in 1975.”
Cheers

Hi Oily, thanks for this. The transplant idea will explain the ■■■■■■■ badge. I honestly can’t remember if ■■■■■■■ was an option in any of the Mk.2 cabbed range. Seddon was an early user of ■■■■■■■ engines as mentioned earlier in the thread, but they did seem to fall out of favour with Seddon until the 32/4 and 34/4 range was introduced. Maybe the reason was pricing or the slow take up of ■■■■■■■ engines with UK hauliers in the early 1960s. Either Gardner or AEC power units were fitted in most of the 30/4s,
