Great article written by a bloke with letters after his name…
My uncle operated heavy wreckers and took me for a drive around Warrington in 76-77 in one of these when it was new. It had Holmes Recovery gear on the back.

All from Truck magazine 1980-84 approx. These are just a few shots I thought were interesting. I recently found the magazines. I have a huge amount of Heavy haulage stuff in ring binders as this is really what interests me. I’ll get onto that one day. I’ve also copied a lot of truck adverts which I’ll put up soon. Apologies if some of this has been posted already.

I suggest to anyone who has about 4 or 5 hours to spare go back to page one where it all began on September 12th 2008 and trawl through this fascinating thread page by page.
We all owe Marcus a big thank you for all the time and effort he has put in to this interesting thread and long may it continue.
Well done Marcus cracking stuff as usual

When I was a kid instead of investing my hard scrounged pocket money on “Spank monthly” I would cough up 2 bob for a copy of “Commercial Motor” or a "Motor Transport " .As they piled up in the corner of my bedroom my mum decided it would be a good idea to chuck them away,after the threat to leave home didn’t work a compromise was to cut out the bestist bits and create a scrapbook,the result of this was 1000’s of cuttings that ended up in a box. here are a few of them ,they may be of interest to someone. Marc
Hope you like them
Echoing what moomooland so rightly said, I have only this to say about the above quote;Especially the last 10 words of it. ----"they may be of interest to someone.Marc Hope you like them )---- How right you have proved to be Marc. Congratulations when you hit the Century mark. We also owe a vote of thanks to your Mum, for making you cut all this stuff out. Top Man! Top Thread.
Those old Toleman Ivecos were somthing else,12 cars on there, how many do you get on the big cabbed units now 9?.
If no one minds, I would like to add some pictures I took in Cyprus a year or two back, some of it still working.
