Here’s one or two more of Joe Lawley’s lorries…
A couple of the ERF – inc. one showing the chassis extension
it’s very tidy inside for such an old lorry
pity about the big hole in the back!
Some totally rotten relics from the borders too…
One of the old Stiller-Carline Volvo FH’s by the colours,seen on Oswestry bypass.

Did Carline become part of Stillers? IIRC they had a depot in Sheffield,wasn’t it an amalgamation of Blue Line Transport,Tonddu and Cardiff Transport?
Hi Chris,
It was Blueline and Cardiff transport,don’t know if Tonddu were involved. Not sure if Carline are running many trucks now,a mate of mine who drove for them was laid off a couple of years ago.
Cheers Dave.

Hi mjt,
Now I know what to look for,have seen your lorries,as you say did get a pic of one. We aren’t always ready with the camera when we meet a lorry,sod’s law when we see a nice moter or an old one the camera is in its case,or my other half hasn’t got it set right.
Cheers Dave.
Here’s another from your neck of the woods mjt. A few artics lined up at the Lazy Kettle Truckstop,Gledrid services, A483/A5.
Another Daf eight legger, in Tarmac colours,seen if memory serves me right, on the A49 near Church Stretton.
