That was in a yard on Harrison close in wigston, from about 1991, I remember seeing it all the while when I worked for AML Transport, our yard was next door to it .
Nearly inquired about buying it to restore.

Cant see from these photos but certainly later headboards were reversible with Empire Stone on other side. Can remember seeing these when handballing 16 ton of Alexandra Stone off in the yard where I worked.

Just how I started my driving career, not with Hoyes and not with that motor, but with a Commer Bantam Karrier as a pop man for the Co-op in Nottingham. Started the day I passed my car test.

I would ave thought a man of your experience would know the fiddle with those recorders Coomsey . Back up tight to your oppo and leave the engine on fast tickover , it then recorded movement . I’m not that old either but like most of us oldies I rode shotgun with my dad in the holidays .
