Not mega old I know but there’s a still a good few Leyland Daf’s flat out on tipper work everyday around 1998 -2000 mark in my area.

now and again i see a 1960s LAD cabbed Albion 6 wheeler rigid crane-lorry trundling up the M1 around Leicestershiresurely someone else on here has seen it around?
Is it a blue one? There’s a very smart one operating around Derby, that works most days, When I was an apprentice fitter a few years ago I’d do craning with him regular, he’s a top bloke who has got another for spares, the pictures are on Flickr I think.
Another place I worked at used to use an od quite regularly for moving machinery . He ran a lovely G-registered f10 rigid with a huge hiab. I’ve seen it about quite recently loaded so it’s still at work.
yes,it is a blue one…and,thanks,i’ve just found it on flikr

Spotted a 6x4 ford cargo tipper on a C plate ( 1986 ) , heading towards Wroxham , wasn’t clean but looked in nice nick for a aggregate work ,
Harvest season often brings out some old rigs, spotted a not to shabby looking X reg- so '81/82, Seddon Atkinson hauling a full load of grain in Oxon last wk.

Hiya…big ford dumped
faithful old girl this was at a main cross roads with about 4 cafe,s there must have been 200 trucks there
couple here just british trucks still working
i think thats about all i managed to get. in the next to last photo see the chap making stones.
these chaps have a few boulders delivered, the lads set about them with hammers making
stones(■■■■■■■■) they pile it up in sizes ready for builders to buy…see that happening in the UK
they’re just there day after day smashing rocks into small pieces. what they call an hammer is
just a lump of iron with a piece of re-bar for an handle

such 4x2 DAF i was driving for 6 Year.
Great Lorry
Sometimes see an old J reg ERF E12 pulling a carntyne transport trailer on the M77. Can’t remember the name on it though. Looks a bit rough but still goes.
Also I think its Southbar Transport from Inchinnan that still runs and old ex Ballantynes whiskey K reg Volvo FL on local work.
Stan Robinson still send a T reg ERF EC11 out to work too. Seen it in Kilmarnock today pulling a trailer, and also last week when it was trying to drag their broken down Foden Alpha off the middle of the Bellfield Rdbt in Kilmarnock.
The newest truck in my company is mine. An 08 plate. The other two are an 98 s reg and an 06 plate which recently replaced an L plate. All are used daily, an most break down weekly.
As much as I love Fodens I wouldn’t want one full time nowadays. I had no trouble with their crash 'boxes but were they really necesssary in lorries built in the late '90s and even 2000 (we had three W regs with them)?
I remember a good few years ago looking through a classic mag and saw a Leyland Constructor. I mentioned to Dad it looked nice and I got the reply of “you didn’t have to drive one.”
Harry Monk:
I believe Bob Carmichael is still going.
Bob’s F88 has to be one of the oldest working artics on our roads. L-reg was Aug '72 to Aug '73 so it’s probably 43 years old now! Saw it at Gaydon: most impressive. Robert

Im sure I read somewhere that this truck has got a slightly more modern Volvo engine fitted to it than what you would think. Something like an early FH engine in it. I might be imagining it and talking crap though.
There’s an old red and yellow Y reg Scania 112 around the Avonmouth area I believe.
We run an R reg 1998 FH low loader testing Weighbridges, runs at 48t.
Still pulls like train, slow off the mark though.

Or Aiden Foleys 1974 AEC Mandaotr wagon and drag
Loaded like that no wonder he’s got a bog roll on the dash
