A Scania from Northern Ireland passing through the traffic lights on the A577 at Pemberton, near Wigan.
The number plate shows HIG, which was, and maybe still is from Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.

A Scania artic heading West through the traffic lights on the A577 at Pemberton, near Wigan.
Just half a mile ahead of the lorry is Junction 26/M6, and the M58 toward Liverpool. 22/08/2022.
The trailer is from Mills International at Larne, County Antrim, perhaps the Scania is a subbie.
The red Scanias in these two pictures may be from the same operator,.
I passed through Larne a few times during my many years on the road.

Dont you just love it, Buzzer

Thanks to Ray Smyth and Buzzer for the photos :smiley: :smiley: also Franglais for the link :smiley:

bit of French/ France input, I have a daughter and son in law living in France 12 years now and in touch regularly, the one big plus is health care which they speak very highly of.

The Morris Commercial lorry on the left of the last picture is one of several from Liverpool Co-operative Dairies from
Lockerby Road, where my Dad was a driver for many years. What it was carrying in this picture is not known.

Definitely not a Triumph Mayflower,not sure what it is,but the grille is nothing like a Mayflowers grille.
it has the look of a Standard 8,but not convinced either way.

It may be the slightly larger Triumph known as a Triumph 1800 perhaps. :slight_smile:

Cheers, Ray.

Also known as the Roadster,only available with a rag top,so that rules the Roadster out.
Out of interest John Nettles drove a maroon Roadster in Bergerac,quite a bit larger that the one behind the Ford,I’ll keep checking!

David

I am sure it is a Mayflower. Confusion arises, I think, as Triumph did a roadster that, if I recall correctly, they also called the Mayflower. My father used to maintain a local Chemist’s bright red one. Quite flash for the period!

No, the larger version was the Triumph Renown. We had one.
