Hello Marc,Brilliant selection of Volvos! Taunton Meat’s 88 & Stuart’s 86 in particular. Which publications would these shots have come from?
Do you know of any other AE Stuarts photographs? I have seen the 88 with the Parkhouse step-frame box on page 1 of the Devon thread - another gem.
Thanks again,
Andrew Stone
Hello Marc, keep it up. Pebbles 74 wants to know which publication the picture of Stuart’s 8 wheeler was from. Well Andrew, I remember Martin well, your uncle no doubt, first with a Bedford TK then the Seddon Atkinson 400 drawbar outfit. The 8 wheeler was pictured in Commercial Motor when it was new. I think it was to let the ministry know that Stuarts had bought a lorry that could run legally, for some reason they always found weighbridges embarrassing. The 8 wheeler replaced an F86 6 wheeler with a similar sized box, now that did take a brave man to drive it. The box from the 8 wheeler went on to an F7 and when Stuarts gave up it was sold to John Watts.
George Gill’s F86 pictured later was also in CM, they ran an article on the West Country in about 1978, including an interview with Jack Gregory, if I remember correctly, he said that he could not see his fleet expanding beyond the 30 0r so trucks he had, as he would loose control if it got any bigger!!!
By the way the Stuart’s F88 on page 1 is Roy’s origional double decker and was built by Drew Bros of Frampton Cotterell, the second one was I believe built in Exeter, possibly by Marsh Barton Coachworks, it was not untill he had the 3rd one that Roy went to Houghtons (Parkhouse) .

Hi Marc,
Another fine selection of pics,it brings back the memories to see that TK with the Cowcatcher on the front,I drove a four wheeler TK tipper in the late 60’s with one of those.
Cheers Dave.
Swizzells Matlow were from New Mills,and I remember it used to say something like " you are following 50,000 Fizz Bombs" on the backs of their wagons :lol
Philip Priestner were a big outfit at one time,what happened to them?
Hiya lads i’ve found a few more pickys all sorts of odds and sods hope you enjoy them.
This Volvo was a truck stop sign in France the cab is’nt ot bad after seein some others
This ERF was parked in Hull on a car park 10 years ago it think someone had gone to work in her.
You’ve all seen this Scammell but have you driven her its my mates so I have.
This Foden was at Astle park maybe 25 years ago its a few years ago Frank Lythgoes Golith is in the background.
Heres a International tractor unit it was at Flookbourough 20 years ago hansome chap standing their.
This Scania was mine for about three years i did internal work in Stanlow refinery. Up untill 2006 she had only done 60,000 miles
This Foden was at Astle park in the late 70s
This Foden was my mates she was a concrete mixer new working at Gatwick airport shes been restored at the monent but i 've lost track of her.
Let me know where shes hiding I think its in the M1 jct 28 area.
This Commer was in Cypres 5 years ago its a tractor unit which is quite rare
john
Heres we go again these are Cypres pickys
This had a Leyland 600 under the bonnet
Just look at that sleeper, In the 70s we would of killed for that It’s a Jennings. That was a really good cab.
Big Crusader if anyone needs a cab you’ve got one here. Theres a V6 two stroke hideing under the bonnet.
I may have posted this one already she was a Left ■■■■■■ but has been converted. All new cab panels a nice 70 ton truck
We’er looking at the Blue Dodge here its double drive with two speed axels.I do’nt mind if you prefer the XR2
Heres a DAF do you remember Onward having tractor units with this cab they looked odd in the 60s
This Scammell was also in Cypres but has come home to the uk, Shes having a facelift at the moment, I don’nt know when shes coming out to play.
she is a low milage lorry only about 4 000 on the clock if i’am correct
All these was taken 4 years ago and most proberly still in the same spot.
John
Two more but these are in the uk Plus one i’ve found from Cypress.
8 legger Leyland I bet shes been there 3o years
This is not at Sid place its in Rush Green I think its ex Shell
Its another Scammell this is quite an early one
The last two Scammells may be the same model can you guess witch is in Rush green.
John
The ergomatic looks like one of Turners of Larnaca
That tidy XR2i would be worth a fortune here today for a boy racer
OOOPs I missed the DAF off. I’ve messesd a bit. it had a pile of crap hanging out of the cab p://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss333/D … 0001-1.jpg[/IMG]
so I had a play with paint shop pro it looks better but not brill.
John
I’ve lost somthing along the way… Ive checked and its arrived hope it was wort it.
John
Two Fodens here the half cab is in Rush green. The crane is in Cypres but the Gardner is knocking bad the crane runs off a seperate motor.
Plenty of good bling on that cab.
John
Hello,great pics John,keep 'um coming mate…lets have a treat…Atkis
Hope these are ok.
Cheers Bubbs.
A good row of hooks on that John Raymond trailer
Just make sure you rope every hook lad! 
I used the article on the Scammell to build a model, here’s my version although its the earlier Routeman. I noticed in the article the lad doing the restoration had fitted the rear markers the wrong way around, no doubt he was pulled on this by another eagle eyed sweat , has he swapped them now? As you see mine has done a bit work compared to his shiny steed. Franky.
Hello Peter,
Thanks for setting me straight on a few things! Yes, it was my Uncle Martin that drove for Stuarts.
I have sent you a PM.
Regards,

They certainly are, thank you! I remember the sister to that Ferrymasters Mk.2 unit. The one in the pic is FBJ 14J but FBJ 13J ended up with Pandoro via Ferrymasters (Ireland). After working for a while as an MOT shunter, I last saw it as a yard shunter at Yeadon depot. If I remember rightly, it was 205 ■■■■■■■ plus 6-speed ZF.
Meanwhile the Pickford’s Venturer has worked on the fairs for many years, and is still at it!

I’d hazard a guess that the half-cab Foden VEW 81 languishing in Rush Green is an ex- St Ives Sand & Gravel motor.
How long ago was the pic taken and is she still there?
Cheers

Hi Mark I took that photo about 9 years ago. Yes i think your right it said ST Ives in the mixer cowel. I only got that one in the photo there was another one
with a number plate a few numbers different. They was quite rotten around the cab area.They had Gardner engines.
