It would do for me, but I’m sure there’s some on here who will fail it.
Cheers Phil.

Hi The truck transporter was built by Carrimore at Stanley Co Durham, I dont think it was ever used in anger because when loaded it was well over weight. I think it was cut up and the axles fitted into a 40’ flat which was then used in their own fleet.

Cheers Bubbs indeed - the first motor I could call ‘mine’ was one of these little 16/4s.
I know now it was rubbish, but I was like a dog with two tails then (1970)
You sure know how to make an old fella happy
Hello Bubbleman, what a lovely photo of the KV cabbed ERF, but surely that model was long gone before the J reg. came out. There were two or three C reg. LVs running out of Gt.Yarmouth in the mid '60s. Maybe it was used internally then registered when first put on the road. What do you reckon? Best regards, Haddy.
Hi Bubbs
The ERF A series with Babycham on the headboard is still around. I recognised the number plate - DYA 679J. It is used by J. Rowlands Fun Fair to move their dodgem track and pulls a box trailer and normally has the dodgem paybox behind that

Hello Bubbleman…You dont happen to have any photo’s of Ivor W Govier from Blagdon Hill do you cos when was a lad my neighbour used to drive for them. He drove a Bedford TK artic and was forever in and out the paper mills at watchet and my other neighbour drove for Whittons at Cullompton, he had a very nice Atki Borderer with 250 Gardener i think and also two doors down from me was Ken who was driving for Wilds with another brand new Atki and recall him every sunday afternoon cleaning poilishing ect , no wonder at a very early age i got into truck driving
Regards…toplineruk…
