Welsh Border and Mid Wales Hauliers 1950's onwards

Dave the Renegade:

Whosale electrical supplier Euronics Mercedes,seen near Kingsland,Herefordshire.

IMO these “teardrop” shaped bodies and trailers are a joke,or “flavour of the month”, as you are only able to load them to the height of the lowest point at the front end the rest of the space is unuseable.Do they ever give up on designing “funnies” such as these! I’ll bet they’ll be a nightmare to repair as-well!! Cheers Dennis.

Probably put the smaller stuff at the front Dennis.The firm in the pic only deliver to the smaller electrical retailers as far as I know.

Re the Smiths of Gloucester pic Dave, they’re on ch40 normally if you want to earwig :laughing:


One of Owens of Llanelli white units,seen on the A49 Ludlow bypass. Its only a matter of time before every lorry will be white which will be very boring,but less expensive for the hauliers.
