whats the oldest working truck you guys know of in use everyday? I ask as i past a G reg and an E reg ERF tippers on the M5 today still going strong looked to be doing quarry work 
DC Thompsons (newspapers) at Dundee run their own fleet of old erf’s for delivery’s in Scotland and some of them are old “g” and “e” plate’s too i think.
My boss still uses F88 " R " reg from the 70’s. Just been fefurbished. Nice!
Milltol in south Yorkshire have a fleet Ov fairly Old tippers, can’t remember what year they are but there the old shape Volvo 8 wheel tippers F something or other.
have a look in this thread viewtopic.php?f=28&t=62594#p759421
I think the oldest pic is E reg, which is 1967
There is a Volvo (not sure which type) log truck that i have seen on the A43 before. Looks ancient but still running so must be fine.

There’s an H reg Atkinson Borderer (stretched rigid conversion) doing the fairground circuit, still with Gardner 150 
the Edwards family of Swindon have at least 3 Scammell Handymen on the fairgrounds aswell.
Hebborns of Kidlington (again showies) have a V reg Foden Haulmaster (saw it pull into Witney earlier)
Away from fairgrounds, Amy King from Buckingham runs a blue K reg Foden 3000 series 8wheeler.
Minster Paving near Witney run an E reg Leyland Freighter tipper, still with original driver.
Webbs of Armscote near Stratford have a small fleet of Merc SK tippers ranging from F to M reg.

if thats the one i am thinking about i saw it the day it came out of torr trucks after being resprayed, looks very nice and they had it parked next to mine at sw truck fest
There’s a red/white Borderer with a tag axle fitted that’s based in East Anglia; run by a farmer I think…
Depends what you mean by working (as in still for a haulage company?), because I saw a Scammell Explorer hauling a traction engine on a flatbed about 6 months ago on the A13 near Basildon…
