I re-call that Nelsons of Arnside had a new Marshal when they came out and early on in its life the cab tilted with the driver sat behind the wheel,he had a lucky escape as it nearly cut him in two! cheers Dennis.
In contrast to the ruinous AEC I’ve posted, here’s one of Derek Webbs’ immaculate Merc SK 4wheelers that I photographed today in Gill Mill Pit

Did the Sed Atk have a 180 or a 240 LXB engine? Cheers Dennis.
240, of course 
Well done on reaching 200 pages Marcus
Does anyone (particularly from Yorkshire) know anything about this one? It was new to Smiths Bletchington but was sold around '88-'89, and appeared in the classifieds of CVC about 18months 2 years ago. It’s back in Oxfordshire somewhere now…

hiya,
Well blow me down Chris it took a bit of screen twisting to bring the wording up, that makes the pic just post nationalisation when the old red and rust was just getting organised so i got two of my old outfits featured in the one photo, well spotted that man will have to learn how to diminish the brightness on the screen until i did a bit of fiddling about the sheet looked white with the wording a blur, that motor was still parked up in the fitting shop in Bennington Street depot when i did my first stint for Blackburn depot either being robbed or repaired can’t remember seeing it down the road but did have a little sit in the cab, well i was only in my early twenties and i guess a bit cab happy pretty certain it was rigged as a drag puller but again the memory cells “aint what they used to be”.
thanks harry long retired.
not quite what it seems…
