Malcolm Price tipping tarmac on the A38 Gloucester. This Atkinson Defender swb 8 wheeler was superb.180 Gardner,David Brown and DD kirkstall`s.This lorry was only driven by Malc,when he was on holiday she was parked up in the yard. One driver, one lorry,her reliability was testimony to him.Komatsu you will notice the" Llanwern Slag" sign on the side of the body.Regards Rich.

Hi Graham i took this a few years ago they were parked in the Pied Piper car park for the night you may know something about them
I worked for Syd up to to him pulling the pin around 1990 that F12 6x4 had been replaced with a Iveco 420 V8 when I worked there but I drove the 4x2 F12 at the side the 6x4 was usually driven by Trevor Syds son. It was a nice firm to work for run by Syd and then Trevor went in the office to help his dad. It was the last time I was made redundant ( 5 times ) in the 80s and only once did I not start work again on the following monday. 
cheers Johnnie

Hi Komatsu 450.Is this the ERF you are taking about? Cracking lorry Gardner230,fuller 9 speed,Kirkstall DD.Went really well,the engine was reconditioned by Watts of Lydney with high compression pistons.None of the legendary Gardner smoke on start up. Regards Rich.The second pic is a later reincarnation.
