Trans Arabia /S. Jones of Aldridge:A few pics

Hello Backsplice ,it may be of interest to you !! The MOT gararge that I use, the owner has just required a F89 which was still working in Greece he is having repainted in his old firm livery and I will put it on this thread when completed !! Taylor’s transport had a fleet of F89s all left hookers and was running out of Aldridge.After passing my jelopy he handed me this Rocker box cover from a Ditroit Diesel ■■? So I thought I will make Ito a telephone bell down the Mac shed That got me looking at the Detroit engines and I found this rather interesting truck , specaily built for carrying steel for the twin Towers in N/Y ,they called it The Beast with a V 12 Detroit turbo charged engine and the fact that it was working in the city centre thay had mufflers on the 4 exhaust pipes to keep it quiet.
