Evening all,
now curnock, Kerbell Fastners, now that is an interesting company, and that lorry had some “history”, can you tell us more■■?
Cheerio for now.
kebrell is owned by ray who is a londoner and an old mate of my dads,who used to drive for charles richards fasteners in the early 70’s and deliver to one of rays depots in london .thats how i got the job.i will always be very grateful to him for that cause at 21 nobody would give me a start.
as for the wagon it was owned by scammell motors and driven by an elderly bloke,who had a heart attack. then ray brought it.it was a loverly motor to drive,straight six box but cant remember what engine was in it.
ray lived in a village called harbury in warwickshire and he entered this and another vehicle in the village carnival in 1988.the scammell being dressed as a robin hood float,had some fun that day i think it came third.dont know if he still got it,but just after i took this photo he put a curtainsider body on it which in my opinion didnt suit it.that was back in 1996.

It was in one of the first Truck & Driver mags mid eighties, somebody on here might still have the magazine.

That’s fascinating. I never realised just how many firms ran these. I always fancied a Routeman but the nearest I got was using a Handyman to load a trailer while my usual motor, an A-series ERF was being serviced.
