Cheers Barry, Oily. Sadly though I didn’t take the pictures, I just bought a couple of hundred off a bloke at Kelsall this year

Now, who’s going to tell the driver of that silver XF that he (or she) has spelt ‘Duchess’ wrong on their sunstrip?

DAF, Holland, Dutch, Dutchess, word play with origin of lorry and driver pride.
Cockney slang My ol’ Dutch (duchess) .
