Did trucks in the 60’s never get washed? The number of pics on here of that generation that show dirty trucks is mind boggling.

Trucks (lorries) pictured on here are in pristine condition. You want dirty lorries ■■ a certain Mr Harry Gill is your man. It is rumoured (maliciously) that Mr Gill NEVER washed a lorry…ever. :smiley:

Dying LAD cab, could be a Albion or Leyland.
Colour would suggest ex RMC perhaps.
Doors open as if attempting to fly from its inevitable fate.
Screen and door windows still oddly intact.

Looks there’s a bit of “do it yourself” building on this tractor. I know Australia was used to quite strange trucks, but this one beats most of them; quite a monster! Will any of you tell more about it? Thanks!

As above ^^ Froggy

Interesting shot of the SOM Invincible as by the reg no it shows that Guy Motors ( owned by Jaguar ) were still producing the Invincible alongside the new Big J so there must still have been a demand for the old model ! Cheers Dennis.

Alf Meade had a cold store on the A329 Oxford Road between Reading and Tilehurst Station, I’m not sure if the building is still there as there is a Waitrose supermarket in that area now? They ran Foden and ERF’s.
