I couldn’t resist posting this. Remember these? I do. I remember seeing them in the 80’s working on the roads when I was a child. I’d love to have a go in one or try a days work in one.
You would have to change your name ezydriver if you wrestled with one of them there heart attack machines… 
Just look at the stupid lights…!

Thats precisely my point. What a beast!! It’d be an experience.
RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAR MONSTERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
It would be more comfortable sitting on the top step of a London Tube escalator at Rush Hour… Great colour ,though…
Used to drive an xNCB one of these - the engine bust so the boss swapped it for a ■■■■■■■ 320 - went like hell with that engine but stopping was another matter
notice the greedy boards on the body would possibly have finished with tarmac and was being used on farms

Sort of, I have a couple of pictures from roughly the same era, and these pictures are a few personal favorites of mine. One or two are from this forum, and the other one or two are from elsewhere. But most of them bare familiar names, in keeping with the Tarmac Foden.
Anyway, I hope you like these few.
The red Foden is apparently working in Malta now, and that picture is recent.
It is on here somewhere, and is a personal favorite of mine. I’d do anything for the chance to try a days work on it.
Love those pics and the half cab Foden brings back memories. Nice to see some proper Fords (Mexico) on the Silcock and Colling D Series
great pics…my dad had a ford D series unit like the blue dart one when he was driving for farleys the rusk people on the poyle trading estate in the 70s…i still remember the reg lol LCO 25G…
Used to drive one just like that but xNCB for a guy -
