Whoops…Whippersnapper, last week, didn’t want you all to know, so I said I’d keep it a secret. :blush: :unamused:

Is that a Ford Anglia I can see on the left hand corner of the picture?

Might also be another,light colored one up on the right hand side too!

Looks well used Paul!

An AEC Ergomatic badged Willème. Just got this picture a minute ago with no more information.

Looks like it’s in primer, straight from the factory.

Covered in fingerprints and muck, standing out in the rain. No wonder they were rotboxes. :smiley:

Driven a few of those over the years Froggy, Leyland / AEC …one was a Leyland Lynx Artic, I think @ 26T gross, can’t remember the HP, not much I imagined. The thing I do remember, it spent more time in the workshops, (the fitters hated the thing), mostly engine / overheating problems, ( I was never a hard driver , so ii wasn’t me ) they didn’t have a cylinder head, the block / head was machined in one, it was suppose to eliminate head gasket problems ( which it did of course) but gave trouble in other ways, had it about 6 months then they gave me a Mandator, think it was for my patience :unamused:

Absolutely tipping it down here, rain stopped hedge cutting, so time to post a few pics.

Note the absence of my Health and Safety officer, Whippersnapper, conveniently he’s swanning off to Italy on an important job. :unamused:

Down at the Cimetiere

Fairground…French / Belgian style…no Scammels, Fodens or ERF’s here !

Heavies.

Badged engineering… :confused:

Tranquil days

Over to you Froggy / Anorak / Michael…Any idea what’s going on here ?

Lastly…a mix of black and whites pictures for you Froggy, I know you like the odd,old, rare, and unusual ones…enjoy :wink:

Surely the red Iveco could/should be saved…?

Heavies.

Zwagerman had three of those Titans in the fleet, all three of them ended up some years later in the Sarens fleet IIRC.
