i know post have been put on here before about said motor, but whilst poodling n/b on the a34 this afternoon i saw the roadtrain heading south giving a car transporter a run for its money, had bedminster on the headboard and looked immaculate still (credit to the driver). less than a minute later i spots a scania 82? (i think) six wheel rigid with a container on the back, what made me look was the high roof conversion it had on it! certainly stuck out. twas blue with a blue stripe down it, most proberbly you box boys would see these two a lot in southampton? think tkdave should trace down these owners of these classics and do a feature for t+d… 
i remember bedminster being in a few years ago . though i hadnt seen the leyland around for a few years
I think Bedminsters Roadtrains have fairly recently been featured in one of the mags, generally about running older stuff. Still got a couple on the road apparently, but can’t get drivers interested in driving them.
i remember the roadtrain 16 yrs ago when i was on craptainers 
I took one and tipped Taranto in Southern Italy 
Cut my teeth on 'em

2032, 2034
■■■■■■■■ Rolls, Spicer, Eaton, Fuller.
Bibby distribution had the lot
My favourite was the 2032, 14 ltr ■■■■■■■■ not a bad motor, even at 38 tons.most of them came with twin bunks. we used to remove the top bunk and raise the lower bunk by about a foot, this gave you plenty of under bunk storage and enough room for a week away at a time.
some of the lads at Bibbys did the continent with low datum cabs, not much fun…
Happy days …■■?
