Hi Truckerash,

Do you have any old removal company pics from the eighties ■■ Especially ones doing European work :stuck_out_tongue:

routier Bunny got one of those debilitating diseases & ended his days with his Irish wife living in Dublin .I hope he’s still around but he stopped seeing people & talking on the phone years ago.He didn’t want people to see him with the illness.

Thanks for the request Mikey…this will get me out a tight spot, cause i cant find enough decent Merc pics for a “Merc theme night” so now i can combine it with removals. cheers!

Luker Bros are still going strong

Not sure about Ceti…this 1 operated by Frank Hill, Manchester.

Thats enough of “Hitler’s Revenge”.
Luckings are still going but now they have plain white and stickered Renaults :frowning:

And what about Concorde? Not sure if they qualify as removals or exhibitions…still, not every day you see a great looking “Dagenham Dustbin” is it.?

ps: Concorde did Middle East with Dafs and F89’s!!!
