thanks a lot, I remember some of these lorries. Boam in whitwick had some normal control bedfords like these ones about 1959 or so quite fast with a Bedford two speed axle . I take it that the eight wheel dodge did nt belong to selbys . I pity the poor sod who had to drive that .

I believe that selbys converted a Bedford 6 wheeler to an 8 wheeler which was an animal to drive and stop.

I don’t quite know about the stripes were about,the grill was because Ginger the one and only artic driver for many years wanted a Volvo,so selbys compromised! They were mainly ex kendricks but it may of been ex hoveringham.
