This old lady retired with me March 2015, R reg FH460 ran at 50 tonnes GVW for Kent County Council from day one as a weighbridge test unit. What a good lorry.

Spotted last week here in rural New Sarf Wales, this bonneted MAN 26.281 (late 70s?? - godnose)

This old beast parked opposite me last week in chippenham truckstop, sounding very nice and looking very nice.

Also spotted this when having a break in rownhams services, was informed it is used everyday running containers to and from the port for removals

Snapped at Carnforth April 2018.

‘Old wagons still earning’ my arris…there are some very decent motors pictured that I’d be more than happy to do a shift on (if I could get mounted), the folk who have posted the aforementioned ‘wagons’ should have been around when us older lads were much younger and seen some of the old tired stuff that we were given to work with.
Try a 6 wheel single drive Sentinel fitted with a 6LW and a geared diff, 28 mph was all I ever squeezed out of that sad heap of misery…3 load of coal a day, Wakefield to Harrogate gas works. :frowning:

Similar with a Foden fg , until an old hand showed me how to wire the governor bar to the throttle bar . Got up to the dizzying speed of 42mph with the traditional stick under the dash .Dave
