Hi Kev, That Mickey Mouse Foden is right up my street, I do hope the owner has the same sentiment as me about Fodens, They were a fantastic bit of engineering at its best in my book, We ran Fodens in 1973, Second hand of course, But One has to start somewhere hasn’t one, Its just a pity that Fodens have stopped making one of the finest Vehicles made in Great Britten since time began, Regards Larry.

Here’s a few more from the same location.

If that was the original spec it must have been a bit of a special, or is it a stretched Cruiser ?

Its a stretched Freighter Plus the engine was changed to meet the higher gross weight, Its a Cranning air lift axle, Plus it had a Hyab fitted, Most likely the only one with this spec, Regards Larry.

We had an X reg Freighter with a TL11 engine. Not sure now but I think it came from one of the oil companies and the engine was the original fit.
It was mid wheel base and we fitted a HIAB and a 18ft flat body with sides. It was on contract to Briggs Amasco. (Tarmac) The big engine came in handy when towing the asphalt cookers.

Aye I can remember that Leyland Peacocks had, We used to deliver screened sea sand to the Hebburn works from Cresswell beach when Northern Aggregates took Woods of Blyth over in the early 80s, The days when we could make a few bob Eh, Regards Larry.
