Bygone in both meanings. Looks like the mini forced one of Fletcher’s out the way. What motor is it?
Looks like a Sentinel/TVW Paul, they ran a few of those.

No, you just get another motor alongside, climb in the back with a shovel and get busy!
Done that more than once 40+ years ago - couldn’t even think about it now!

PS. A shovel is a tool tipper drivers use for changing wheels!

When I came back from Oz the first time in about '65, I got a job on an AEC with Wimpey building the M1 on the section north of the Trent crossing. At one point we had to descend from the bank and drive along a narrow track alongside marshy ground near to the river. One night a driver put one foot off it and the result was just like that. He did spend a whole night shift digging it out with a shovel…and then they sacked him. 
A bit unreasonable I thought, he wouldn’t have done it again, but his replacement might.
