Despite what the name on the DAF 6 wheeler seems to indicate, this lorry
is delivering groceries and vegetables to a supermarket in Mojacar, Spain.
Perhaps some of the Trucknet members who now reside in Spain can tell
me what “Cash” means in Spanish, Is it similar to “Cash & Carry” in English ?.
Regards, Ray Smyth.

Hi Oily, That is a good looking 8 wheeler DAF of Carrs Milling Industries , I reckon it is based at their subsiduary company Hutchisons Mill at Kirkcaldy serving bakeries in the north including Orkney.
Cheers, Leyland 600Hi Leyland 600, aye I remember the original just off the bottom of the “Paith” on the harbour side, Carrs built a huge new mill on the same site.
This picture would have been about my time there, Nairn’s Commer climbing The Path loaded with rolls of hessian backing for the lino, a Guy Arab on the way down, the cassies when wet got ye paying attention, in the winter time always well gritted. Some of the Guys had wooden slatted seats which gave mirth to the clippies when cornering on steep inclines, passengers hanging on and not unusual to find the odd one picking themselves up from the gangway.
OilyStrewth, I passed my PSV (in house testing) on one of those Guys. IIRC it had a 5LW in it (maybe 6, it was a long time ago)
5cyl Gardner, they took a bit of firing up of a winters morning, burning rag into the air intake, lots of blue smoke generated, a job for the garage shunter/s, jeez it can’t have been good for their bronchioles.

It was a regular sight in Dewsbury bus station, Guy Arab, flat battery, starting handle, and a rope. Get the handle ready, get the rope on, and a couple of hefty lads to give it a sharp pull. Usually a success…“and leave it running, don’t stop it or stall it” 
Happy days.

Must have been a D1000. The ford motor wouldn’t gone anywhere with a load of concrete.

I remember such a truck resting in the back of a local garage’s workshop for years, its cab tilted. Indeed its engine was a V8, but in that time my knowledge wasn’t what it is today, and I mistook it for a GM V8. Thanks for the information!
W.Costigan had a large number of shops in the Liverpool area, Whether they had shops further afield,
I do not know. Costigans were like butchers shops, but from memory, they tended to sell large amounts
of bacon and pork products, rather than the usual cuts of fresh meat. I don’t remember this particular
Costigan Karrier Bantam artic, but I can remember the drivers carrying half a slaughtered pig, or sides
of bacon into Costigans shops. This location is Scotland Road in Liverpool, exactly where Cilla Black (RIP)
lived until about 1964.

This firm made the original Jesmona Black Bullet Mints , Famous for their flavour, Regards Larry.
On the more genteel side of the Pennines were Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls, Larry. Still available, I believe.

Those Gilder wagons surely look the part Oily, no doubt herr Sutherland will concur! 
Hi ROF, Yes, Uncle Joes Mint Balls are still made right here in Wigan.
The slogan is “Uncle Joes Mint Balls, Keep you all aglow”
They are produced by the Santus family, who I believe were, or are
connected to the firm of coachbuilders also called Santus.
Regards, Ray Smyth.

Defo a past un! M1 Leics reckon that’s a Dodge he’s overtaking. Cheers Coomsey
I resemble that remark , I can remember the M1 like that , no Armco and no busy lines of traffic . Looks like an Octopus coming the other way . I bet it was only open from J24 to rugby at that time , early to mid 60s . Rotten bugger , you’ve made me feel ancient ( again ).
