What is the 8 wheeler further up with an Atkinson-esque cab? Never seen a photo of one like that.

Yes, I was wondering about that but couldn’t think how to put it. Atkinsonesque, that’s the way to do it. :wink: :laughing:

Its a Foden S. 20 cab but had a screen change either a Boalloy or Cravens Homalloy, I would think done by Cravens Homalloy as they also did AEC Mercury’s with the same screens which actually have more of a lower curve to them than those fitted to Atkinsons. Here’s a couple of pics with Homalloy built cabs. Franky.

Thanks Geordielad. Is that an Albion with the AEC? The AEC looks the most stylish out of the 3 (IMHO).

Is it me, but is there a variation with the S21 cab with front lower wing and bumper height. Makes a difference to the whole look. Some seemed to have more chrome lines as well.

Very. Any idea what year that interview was Buzzer? Mention of 67mph makes some sort of an idea. :smiley:

I could never understand why London Brick 'specc’d single drive 8 wheelers ? Unless they always insisted that they only delivered onto hard ground ? But I wonder how often a JCB towed them off a site / Cheers Bewick.

Do think that might have been large company accounting?
