Hiya Andrew! that 5th wheel in the foreground is a diabolical mess and should have had the excess grease scraped off!! We used to grease the pick-up plates on the trailers rather than the 5th wheels.Cheers Dennis.

Who does your signwriting/lettering and graphics for you Andrew? Dennis.
hi dennis,
these days,in our area most of the old boy signwriters (most of which my parents dealt with) have finished,the computer generated vinyl lettering has come on leaps and bounds over the last two years.i think that most competent vinyl companies can now create just about anything!
however,with regard to artwork,then we have always dealt with airbrush artist chris gadd.he is always full of brilliant ideas,he will be in with us for the next two weeks working on a customers scania topline that we have had with us for two months.here is a scania 143 that we and chris completed in memory of the owners late wife.
even the people who say that vinyl is not as good as signwriting would agree the difference in these two pictures.

Here are some picture’s of the Tesco fleet in 1995 the first 6 in a batch of 28, being PDI’d at the then Telford Trucks Ltd.
this back when they used to come from factory without anything on em, had to fit the rear wings, deflectors, handbrake buzzers, suzzie boom’s and cut the back of the chassis down. the list was endless and all had to be 
done in 1 month!!!
This is one of Andy smiths D638 AHT 112 Taken in 1989.
