SDU is now thinking about replacing those rope bars with door handles and all those short bits of rope with a power lead extension.Don’t know the tensile strength of any of it but probably better than using a sheet to hold a paper reel or a 1t pallet or two.
Help? Pftt, Carryfast would carry it in one hand, roll a smoke with the other, all whilst lecturing othe intracacies of and his vast experience with 15 speed RoadRangers.

To be honest, that would make a great You Tube video.
Are we thinking on the same parallel of East and West and a chap called Frederick?
Doctor Foster went to Gloucester.
Stepped in a puddle up to his middle and never went back there again.
What if he only had one good hand and the other hand was a prosthetic limb with a hook on the end like the ex police man in the film The Fugitive?
In the same vein as substituting rope with power cord, he will substitute a table cloth for a tarp and an automatic Jaguar for the RoadRanger.

Something I came across on flickr recently:
According to the description accompanying this shot
… it’s an AEC V8 Mandator with a high-roof extended cab. I never knew such a thing existed but many here know more than I do.

I think there was an AEC dealer in Southampton or near by that built one or two of them.There’s a blue one with a AV760 too.The one in the photo was going to a motor show in Turkey or somewhere for BL.It’s on the V8 thread
Thanks, have you got a link to the thread (I can’t be arsed with the useless search thingy on this site)?
G reg…1969?
15 yrs ahead of it’s time that motor.
When did first Globetrotters and DAF space cabs appear?
Early 80s?
Late 1968 (suffix letters used to change in September IIRC, so ‘G’-reg could be either most of 1969 or late 1968)
The Commer is in a Bradford mill somewhere many years ago bales all loaded by overhead crane get them placed right first time or you and your wool hook were on your own
