Came across this Land Rover negative today. I know there are those who do not consider Land Rovers as a subject to be shown on this forum but this example surely has a legitimate right to be featured. Taken by Roger Kenney

Those blocks must’ve been heavy to warrant that truck. 
Wasn’t that a 6x6 with the v10 engine?

I’ll bet it was a bugger to manoeuvre in a confined space, long wheelbase with a ■■■■ poor lock.

Where is the Fears Institute?
And it is Munro by a nose! Picture by Roger Kenney, he took the picture from the passenger seat of his car - the car’s wing mirror is in the bottom right. Like to know the location, he took a number of shots from this position.

It’s especially bad when this Bristolian actually lives in Keynsham. Pete.

I see John Smillie has got his usual traffic onboard an aero engine from o’er the border have loaded them on a wag and drag, nice load, used
John Smillie’s for return loads for many years always paid well I believe.

That’s a four wheeler overtaking an eight legger by the look of it.Got a bit of a weight advantage.
Cheers Dave.

Dave those aero engines weren’t heavy a lovely and quick load/tip, the Munro laddie would take a bit of catching on the level or downhill they could fly a bit they’ve shown me a clean pair of heels on many occasions.

Dave I think that’s an Artic mate.
The Leyland possibly,but the ERF is a rigid.Not sure if the Leyland is an eight legger.Harry will probably know.
Cheers Dave.

Aye a Leyland Beaver artic,they ran a lot of them.It’s a great old photo,wonder where it was taken,is Smillie in a centre “suicide lane”. 
I wonder if it’s the old A6 in Lancs somewhere?

Aye a Leyland Beaver artic,they ran a lot of them.It’s a great old photo,wonder where it was taken,it’s a three lane road,non-motorway.Maybe the A1 ?
I stand corrected DDsix.It just looks like a tank on the side of the chassis near the back end,but perhaps its the spare wheel .
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Pretty sure Munro’s motor is a bender Smillies ERF will only be a four wheeler,
and there’s a good chance I knew Smillies driver I knew most of them.
thanks harry long retired.

Heres a more recent shot of the same 143, as Andrew and Marcus said now with Pete Chamberlain [kingtrucker143] and still based in the Bristol area. Still very much a working truck. Pete even goes over the water in it [Isle of Wight]

She’s a credit to you mate, very nice indeed.
Thanks very much, it keeps me interested in driving, which is hard in these days of boring trucking.
Regards Pete.
Well most of it’s all been said 
, but I am convinced the Munro is an artic and the Smillie one of their many, from my memory anyway, four wheelers.
And Harry was right, they did pay well, Smillie’s were definitely on my return load list from Scotch. And I know about the money because I was on a percentage at Midlands Storage.
