Euromats random truck picture thread

OUT OF HOURS TRANSPORT PHOTO FORUM (MEMBERS ONLY)
1

so as most people may have gathered, i like to take a photo or 2, so as a lot dont end up going online anywhere, i thought i would start a thread with random truck pictures i have taken, if anyone wants to see anything in particular manufacturer wise or work type wise, let me know and ill see what i have

so to kick it off, en route the other day i went past these lot, i had to stop and wander back with my camera, sadly no one was about in the forge to see if i could pop in for a proper look and photo session, ah well!!

and lastly for now, anyone have any ideas what this is hiding in the hedge? can only make out a couple of letters on the bonnet badge sadly…

Good set of pics.

Why don’t you see so many of Westermanns nowadays? A few years ago they were all over the place,now it’s quite rare to see them.
I know a lot of them in the UK were O/D’s or small hauliers.Anyone remember the guy from somewhere up the north-west with the R-cab Scania,he had one of those huge pods on the top like you see on removals trucks,now that was some sleeper.

Great pics mate, cheers.

euromat:

Looks very similar to one of these on the roof of that…

… strange combination!
Although on further inspection, the Iveco has more vents. I seriously should get out more…

im pretty sure its an iveco air kit, there was a couple in there, could be an earlier/later model than the rd picture one…

keith, no idea about westermanns, think someone posted about it before, i do have (at my brothers i think) pictures of some of theirs about 10 years ago, including a daf 65 with a removal style sleeper, must have been huge!

There’s a O/D who parks his 124 topliner on heywood ind est think its a P reg, with bull bar on the front, keeps it very tidy.
