This looks like a Clear Freight lorry. I hope some one can tell us about them. I know they were in the South East and ■■■■■■■ with BRS but don’t know how or when. The fleet no. is BRS but not sure where XF depot was.I know clearfreight was set up for hauliers to backload like the one,s advertised on the back of the headlight magazine.
It was a Southern Brs idea around 1982-3 and 1 was Aylesbury and Guildford on which the above foden was based.[AK]
The merc i would like to know where it was based but if any help XT was Brentford depot mars contract.

Hi Dan,
It looks like Tony Chubb loading those bales, cannot see if the weighbridge had been moved from middle of yard to just inside the gate.
Can you remove the electric static crane? It would be just to the left of the Sed AK.
I must have tipped over 3,000 loads in that yard!
Cheers Pete

Morning Dai, Dean,
Arround 1976 an F86 with York Big D 5th wheel and a little paint would be just under £5,000 F88 sleeper (standard) about £8,000 less about £800 for the day cab.
Harvey, so the F88 would have been around £13,000 less £800.00 if you wanted a day cab. I understand what
you are saying about having a sleeper even if you dont need one as its easier to sell and will hold its price better.
Intresting story about the birds nest ! 
Sorry Dean, I did not word that very well.
F86 = £5,000
F88 = £8,000 … less £800 for the non sleeper, so day cab F88 = £7,200.
PS, Re the birds nest, to add insult to injury I had a verbal warning from the factory ( not dealer level ) should not have got involved
