Fair shout, I liked the picture, very atmospheric! Rarely see this now with lorry bans, weight limits etc etc etc :cry:

That part of Paris is all redeveloped now too! and La Villette - all gone!

i seem to remember this truck lived in a carpeted garage . :wink:

has anyone got any more info on this john c andrews f88 truck? reg no RFV 838T at one time it was local to me, it used to belong to j&d alsop of brassington in the early 90s
it was restored the first time over 20 years ago as a working truck and used to pull a bulk tipper, infact the colours are more or less the same including the stripes on the doors!
there are pics of this truck as it was at truckfest 1990
