If that Tm had a Bedford 500 engine, it probably broke down before it was off trade plates

I used to like my mirrors viewed through the windscreen instead of the side window,less to move your head I suppose!

Hiya… why the bad word on Bedfords Suedhead. I.d been rearered on Gardners and ■■■■■■■■ on one occasion i got
a job on a bedford KM with a 500 engine.Well i must admit it scremed. but it scremed up and down the uk for many miles
and when it finally broke at 9 years i got another and another.I was last in this company and got the cast offs for the first 18
months untill i got a 2100 DAF. Can i say the Bedfords never let me down they just got worn out after 9 years hard work.
When running out of Manchester i could do 2 trips to Paisley loaded both ways a Southampton both ways and a Weatherby on friday. it was only a 4 wheeler but a good truck in its day.I earned some good pay slips on that job.

My Dad drove a KM before Smiths bought him a V reg TM; Pound for pound thought the KM was the better motor…something to do with the TM being too low geared and it’s plastic seats…
A winter scene from 30 years ago. The lorry belongs to Hilman, Chelwood, Bristol and still had a few miles and a couple of steep hills to cope with before getting home

Good to see the half cab Mercury (Ham River had some) and the Alf Meade S21 Foden from my home town, forgotten how high (both outside and INSIDE ) their bodies were!
Good pics.

Interesting photo, for a turkey vindaloo does anyone know;
a) Who operated the Saviem? The Fiat is Pekaes from Poland, the DAF is Chambers & Cook, and the Volvo obviously CaveWood, in case anybody wondered/has lost their reading glasses
b) Where was the photo taken, and what was occurring?
hi lads,Marcus derrick crouch had a fleet of them aec 6 leggers half cabs on the north radar opencast site, that ran on a private road so weight was not a problem, average over the weighbridge was 35ton, had some mates on that job, remembered them having a lot of problems with back axles, um!! wonder why

Hello again,good pics lads…I remember the old Albion of Brains Faggots…I used to see it when walking to school never knowing years later I’d be parked in the same spot loading them for Western Tpt …jj72,the pic of the customs bloke checking stuff was from an article called "a day in the life of…"cant remember what port it was …Ramone,the Henry Long Merc was from a front cover of a Commercial Motor.
Apologies for any repeats,

I think that 230 was the advertised figure. Meanwhile, the L12 Buffalo offered a startling 203bhp, as I recall!
