TRUCKIN IN THE 80's (International)

dreva:
anybody remember this firm robinson london any pics or storys much appreciated

dreva,
Interesting photo, do you know what year this photo was taken?
T reg would place the truck manufacture year at around 1979. It looks really quite old in this picture, and I’d love to know how old.

i dont know for sure it was to me by a mate of me dads i think it would have been taken about 87ish

Carl:
found these of this old 141 discussed in previous posts on a dutch website

this photo was takren by me in 2002 , it used to be an 6x2 rigid wich was converted in an tractor unit , this truck never whent on the road and was scrapped in 2007.
the owner also used to have an 140 scania with an home-made topsleeper , it filled the entire roof of the 140 , this truck was used for runs to spain until the late 90 , the owner-operator bought an new daf 95 XF to replace the 140 , the 140 is now restored , the cab was replaced
