By the way Stellan I think the bridge is the origional Severn Crossing from England to Wales, dunno who owned the Scania though but it looks lovely…

I think JV is a Humberside registration,and as Autotransit used to ship a lot of trailers through Hull,I reckon it’s the Humber Bridge.

But…someone will know better :wink:

Here’s a pic of my Autotransit lightbox that’s proudly displayed on my garage wall…

…it was given to me just before Onsala Akeri AB in Gothenburg finished.

I have always believed that it has been a bridge in Gothenburg, and they had an English truck brought over here. :confused:

Take very good care of that, they don´t make such light boxes any more. I have one ASG light box and one very old light box from Bilspedition made of sheet metal in the early sixties, that hopefully will decorate a Ford Transcontinental sometime in the future :smiley:

The scania in question was owned by an owner driver from barnatby north Lincolnshire by the name of leslin transport (les & lin husband &wife) they still own’ s a fleet of truck’s and sub for db Shenker.

Here are a few more photo’s I have found of Trailer Express and Geoff Gilbert when he used to pull there trailers

I´m really glad that I still can be here on the forum, and of course it will appear both Volvo and Scania from Sweden :smiley:

But first I have a question. Does anyone know anything about the transport on this photo taken in 1977; it has a load of a giant 21 ton muffler from Sheffield via Aberdeen for an oil platform in the North Sea. The information that I have says that it´s 550 kilometer journey, so it must have been a very difficult transport…

Stellan

Hi Stellan, I worked for this guy for a very short time ( before he had this wagon ) and it would not be to difficult as we took a lot of heavy stuff up to Aberdeen and beyond without any problems and it would be around 400 miles from Sheffield
cheers Johnnie :wink:

I have an ASG one too,also on my garage wall…

The pictures from Geoff Gilbert are specially appreciated by two brothers in Gothenburg who has restored this Volvo Titan Tip Top from 1964.

Here´s a photo from the same occasion with an ASG light box… with a F88 from 1970 under it :smiley:

Here we have stopped at an old truck stop on the old E6 north of Helsingborg, the 145 express from 1972 is my veteran vehicle for the day

Stellan

Autotransit,

That truckstop on the old E6,is that next to the service station at the top of the hill at Hallandsas?

It´s a place north of the HallandsÃ¥s; an old truckstop called “Skrea Motel” just outside Falkenberg.

You should see it when I’ve got the lightning conductor up on the roof.
Bring the cadaver in here Igor! :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :wink:

Maybe one of those would be suitable for the transport of a cadaver? :stuck_out_tongue: Three vehicles of 24 meter total length, and one 18-meter… I think your name for this kind of vehicles is drawbar? :confused:

Stellan

KW was correct. It is definately the Humber Bridge. Googled it and got heaps of pics…

One from my collection.
Ironically the name on the cab side is; A S G Huggins. Bowbells Haulage.

How common was the “Bilspedition-green” color in the UK, I thought it was mostly the Scandinavian countries that used it. Here´s another magazine from Bilspedition published in 1970, with the original color on the F88…

Stellan

This is the last version of the old logo before Bilspedition disappeared and became BTL :frowning:
