Came across this one in my old box.

With the Grassington area of the Yorkshire Dales being well known for (extra ?) large snowfalls in wintertime ,
Longthorne Bros do their bit for the local community by helping to keep the highways clear.
This type of vehicle contrasts with the metallic blue of their livestock and tipper fleet .

Heres a chance for a second life` for a L.H.D. European-built 6 x 6 in the Yorkshire Dales.
This IVECO has the snowplough fitting/ hydraulics attached , and awaits the next stage , ready for any adverse weather.

Photographed at Barnard Castle Truck Show , a couple of years ago,

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Thanks for the old photos Guesty44, can’t beat 'em containerisation way back then, can see the more or less standard size trailer box on a rail wagon, dunno about the one on the drawbar unit unless for exchange depot loading or shipping.

A couple of old codgers are shown in another , - but older ,- Longthorne-liveried wagon.

The Leyland 4 wheeler was taking part in the transport procession at the Leyland Festival in the town , a couple of years ago.

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Hi “Oiltreader” ,
The runaway Ford accident pic of 1964 is surely incorrect , although the handwriting on the newspaper cutting says 1964.
The Morris Marina car bears a “L” suffix (Aug. 1972 - July 1973 ) , and the Ford D 1000 only became from 1967/8.
The Ford tipper appears to show a “J” suffix , ( from Aug. 1970 - July 1971).
Apart from that , nostalgic snippets , thanks .

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Hi CWM, Yes you are right about the D series Ford being introduced in 1967/8. I recall attending a promotional evening at the County Garage at Carlisle in company with Colin B, his father and the lads frae Ireby and their father Bewick’s compatriots.

Now then L600,I think you and CWM are just a “tad” too late with the year the D series was launched which by by my recollection was “C” reg 1965,that is the D750/800.I recall the D1000 being launched in late '67 as I was still at Brady’s when they were supplied with a Red D1000 28 ton gvw tractor unit Demo.Anyway,when did ADB get his first “D” series which William would have driven?,I’m a bit hazy here about what motor young Alex got after the Trader ? Just keeping you “reet” Marra eh! Cheers Bewick PS I bet that was some evening to have been a “fly on the wall” listening to you Lads various comments,I think father Alex would have been in good fettle eh!

leyland600 · 16 January 2014 21:49

Hi Bewick, Aye I think you are right RWB must have got his D100 by then G reg and think Colin had something similar. I remember John B making a comment to the Ford salesman that the cabs cannot be that warm as both Colin and RWB had beards which he reckoned they needed to keep warm. I was clean shaven and ran a Gardner engined Mickey Mouse Foden and John quoted me as having a warm wagon with no need for a beard. I can assure him that I needed an insulated boiler suit and summat inside me to keep warm as there frequently was more ice on the inside of the cab than out.
Cheers Leyland 600

The Ford D-Series was a range of middle weight trucks introduced by Ford of Britain in 1965. It replaced the Thames Trader and appears to have been envisaged as a more modern competitor to the Bedford TK produced by General Motors’ UK truck subsidiary.
April 1967 saw the range expanded upwards with the arrival of the Phase II D1000 series, designed for operation up to a weight of 28 tons gross, and at that time the largest trucks ever produced by Ford of Britain. The D1000s were powered by ■■■■■■■ produced V8 diesel engines of 7.7 litres displacement.
In 1981 the range was replaced by the Ford Cargo in European markets.
