A big thank you Dean fantastic photos of the Seddon Atkinson’s [emoji1303]
Wincanton Foden.

Anyone recognise the Atkinson ■■ Say Ryan 6 on the trailer ?
6
A bit of useless info for you Dean…………… 
The Atkinson has a HE Barnsley reg plate and looks very much like an ex Duncan Sharp unit,although it wouldn’t have pulled a single axled trailer when he owned it.
The Wincanton Foden tanker is carrying 3Y 2055 which is Styrene and most likely out of BP Chemicals Baglan Bay where Winc had a big prescence in the 70s.

If you look closely at the SA 400 brochures/ads,what a clever idea the fly window on the door is.
Air in air out!!
Never noticed that before.

Former Mk1/2 drivers complained of insufficient ventilation on the 400. The engineers discovered that the problem was due to the doors actually fitting the frame.

And the amount of times I’ve cracked the top of my head on that aluminium strip under those windows, same as the Ergomatic cabs!

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
I know you worked for Volvo Harvey but i had a figure of about 15 grand for a F88 in 76 ■■

Harrisons ran quite a number of these Fiat’s during the1970’s
Today Lee Harrison, whose father owned Harrisons of Holmes, is the owner of Harrisons of Tarleton.
Here’s a picture Lee sent me a while back of one of the Leyland Octopus lorries that his father ran.
The Volvo is Cardiff Galv based in east moors rd Cardiff,also in Swansea my mate niel drives for them ,I done some agency work for them years ago

Evening Dean,
Slightly off topic but to show Tidderson Aylesbury brs depot sign with the clearfreight logo.These photos would have been taken about 1983.
The idea was to match empty running with loads even for private hauliers.A few years later when Exel Logistics was created they actually competed for
work against BRS although all went to the same balance sheet [NFC]they were has much a threat as TDG or Salvesen,s. for contracts.Seems crazy i know.

The photos of the sign are not that good but you can make out Clearfreight.
