PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION (Part 1)

[scania81]

JAKEY:
Scania 81 ,Dai will know the driver of the rockwool ERF ,sure its a Brs Bridgend motor ,great pictures as normal .

The driver of the rockwool erf is Alan Rooker who is a member on here.
I remember the 7 motors lined up brand new and six of the original drivers[may be wrong on the 7th].
This is a photo of the jennings sleeper added of the same motor and the cost of £850 pound comes to mind for each conversion.

Thanks for the details Dai. I wonder why they just didnt buy sleeper cabs when they bought them new ?
I remember discussing something similar and i seem to recall there was only about a thousand pounds
difference in price between a day cab and a sleeper in the 1970’s.

The big question is - was the Heanor Haulage F89 called Kermit because it was green, or was it green because it was called Kermit.
Just wondering…

I am so glad that its just not me that cant tell the difference between that shape Leyland & AEC !
I have never really studied them so i am sure there is a easy way to tell the difference maybe the grills are
slighlty different or something ■■ Anyway “ramone” it looked to me like a Leyland badge on it but i could be
wrong. No doubt “gingerfold” will put us right !
