thanks a lot, I remember some of these lorries. Boam in whitwick had some normal control bedfords like these ones about 1959 or so quite fast with a Bedford two speed axle . I take it that the eight wheel dodge did nt belong to selbys . I pity the poor sod who had to drive that .

I believe that selbys converted a Bedford 6 wheeler to an 8 wheeler which was an animal to drive and stop.
Great pics Nick ,the scrap looks like pig iron ,what’s the story with the stripes on the s10 unit ? The rare body did it come New or was it ex Hoveringham ?
great pic’s Nick.when i started in 'sorrel in the mid-80’s, David Cooper was running an old Foden,wondering if that was ex-Selbys?

I don’t quite know about the stripes were about,the grill was because Ginger the one and only artic driver for many years wanted a Volvo,so selbys compromised! They were mainly ex kendricks but it may of been ex hoveringham.
Smashing set of pics. The 70s and 80s ones are the best to my mind. 
I’ve seen some of the S80s tipping on a barber green. Can’t recall where I’ve seen 'em.
Edit: I posted 'em sometime ago on this thread: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=96061
Old age is a wonderful thing.
