Leyland Roadtrain with red Indian face

Just watching an old episode of minder on itv4 and they were been followed by a roadtrain interstate with the front painted as a face and the cab top in the traditional headdress.
I remember this lorry as a youngster in the late 80s early 90s and used to see it regularly round the south London area. I think it used to pull sainsburys trailers alot.
Anyone else remember it or have and history on it or it’s owners.

It was Bill Humphreys Roadtrain, do a search on the forums and you will find a photo.

This is the same lorry

i remember seeing it a good few years back at sainsburys charlton, and if i’m right, (IF) did he have maybe 1, or more other painted up unit, i don’t know why but a purple ERF keeps popping in my head.

One of Bills Scanias aswell. :wink:

Bob.

I remember that roadtrain at truckfest must of been late 80’s I also remember seeing that episode of minder round about that time as well

I think they call themselves W. Humphreys now Kev, last time I saw them they were running 124 Scanias with scrap bulkers, their yard is down by Tate & Lyles place near the ferry :wink:

Yeah that’s them. I know they did a lot of sand and aggregate for rmc at one time.
