Froggy55:
“DEANB” Albion Super Riever brochure.Really a brilliant idea to have put online all your leaflets, Dean! Great stuff! I’m once more amazed to see that, in 1972, 22 ton 6-wheelers were propelled by 125 bhp engines! Such an engine would have been considered at the most suitable for a 12 tonnes truck in France!
Yeah got 1 or 2 downloaded chap !
pete smith:
“coomsey”Are you sure Pete? I’d heard it was Schnack Van Open !!■■
Behave Paul, we have a very young impressionable Dutchman on here

Pete, We have had some cracking Alan Price motors on here.

Dean if"Coomsey" had been given enough brains to be an expert in anything, do you imagine he’d have been driving a dump truck for a living ? No of course, which is a convuluted way of saying I don’t have a clue about Barfords. I drove a couple of 50 tonners, they were a decent drive . cheers Coomsey

Morning Dean,
Cracking pics of Alan Price’s fleet, Pete 359’s territory!
The only M+R Transport I know of are in Bedford, but they usually run Scania’s and I don’t think the sign writing is the same?
The Scania is or was one of Grampian Foods

The term “expert” was obviously a mistake “coomsey”

a bit of history on this motor, it was owned by a Scottish o/d after csl sold it, I think he was a bit of a naughty boy as my mate bought it via HMRC auction as it had been re/po’d… and from 2013/15 it was my ride on the boxes out of birch coppice doing locals via roadways a nice number till marmite took over and destroyed the job for o/d’s.
but it made my mind up to retire early at 55 and I haven’t looked back since…
p.s it was a cracking motor and had been looked after well by all that owned it…
The term “expert” was obviously a mistake “coomsey”
Sure was Dean, more of an ex spurt now, I remember the time I could get her at 3ft
