Re. Classic and Vintage Commercials mag, there hasn’t been anything of interest in there for several months worthy of it’s inflated price tag, unless hazy readers memories and special insurance ads are your thing.Buy ‘Heritage Commercials’ instead!
I did a couple of months back (the one that had the F16 in it) I read about the last Gardner powered Foden in WHSmith and put it back!
This month’s edition has an excellent selection of Atkinson photos

I might start a thread “lorries in the background of photos”
Hope these are of interest.

But the Scania dos,nt look new and what year did they start having 5 axles for 38 ton about 1988 that would make
the volvo 12 maybe 13 years old… what do you think■■?Five axles for 38 tonne was 1983, the Volvo does have the livery similar to Cawthorn’s although I have a picture of one of Cawthorn’s 88’s in an advert in a Oct 71 Commercial Motor and it doesn’t have the white band around the cab, JCN 29H, if anyone knows it. Ah, just spotted its a left ■■■■■■ so does that make it an 89!
Franky.
it looks like an old cawthorns 88 to me
