Great Photo Dave of the old Mickey Mouse in its fine livery at Dorset, I looks like an Ex Salkelds motor from Castleside, There is also a one up that area belonging to Peter Corbet, Regards Larry.

This was taken at Charlie Leonards Depot at Guisbrough, The young boy is Jonars Lowdon, about 8 yrs ago, Regards Larry.

Its not my photo Larry. Paul Griffiths a mate of mine took it at Blandford Forum and lent me it.
Ken Watkins from Leintwardine had a very similar Foden to that one nicely restored, but I think he has sold it now.
Cheers Dave.

I nearly bought this about 6 yrs ago, I wonder if it ever got restored , Regards Larry.

Wouldn’t have minded taking it round the block just for the experience, but not sure I’d have wanted to keep it :open_mouth:

Can anyone tell me if the horsepower badges are still available ,would I get them from a DAF agent like Imperial at Derby? Would they be the Alpha ones or could I get the larger power ones like on a 4000 series ,also are the spray flaps avalible with the Foden emblem on cheers Dan.

I couldn’t be certain but I think this unit is ex. Midlands BRS, we had several Fodens at Wellington branch all with the EFC —V Oxford reg.They were mainly used on a Wrexham lager job.

Hitching a ride!!!
