Funnily enough Colin was driving that Foden S20 Dumpmaster when the photo was taken.He used it as a demonstrator for prospective customers.It had a two stroke originally but the heads kept cracking so it was replaced for a Gardner.It was eventually sold to Ahern in East London .My mate Stuart Aherns dad Pat used to drive it.

Nice pic chap.
A popular 8 wheeler back in the 1970’s was the Magirus Deutz who battled it out with Volvo for the number 1 spot wih regard to sales
for foreign manufacturer’s. Infact even beating them for several years. The other main foreign importers for the 8 wheeler were Man,Mercedes and DAF.
The biggest selling 8 wheelers from the UK manufacturers were the Scammell Routeman,Atkinson,Leyland,Foden,ERF,AEC and Seddon Atkinson
etc in no particular order. I am sure i have read that the Routeman was the largest selling 8 wheeler tipper in the early 70’s.
Magirus Deutz were particlarly popular with the muck away and tipper companies.
Various companies.
