Similar at Heritage Motor Museum, Gaydon last week, great yarn with the driver, tho’ quite well genned up on cartransporter firms of years gone by, he was very interested in my time on car delivery in the 60s, made my day .

Are there any transporter companies left in the UK apart from Stobart & ECM? These two have a monopoly now.

My dad had it at Marjef with a tri decker. The same tri decker with the Fiat under the front. Hence the Lancia stickers on the Foden.

Thanks for that I still have a quite a few transporter pics, my own and that of contacts on flickr and really should have been posting them, must try harder. I’ve spent a hour or two today re-reading this thread and all previous input was very much appreciated, tho’ not many drivers on here from my time to chew the fat with, transporter man, Dieseldog66 and their like, so here’s a photo to get them kicking their slippers off and responding, it’s from a load of stuff I have without known ownership (to me anyway).
