OK TK Dave I don’t think it would have a 150 in unless someone “retro” fitted one and JR will be of no help whatsoever as it is long before he was inflicted on the population!!! Anon.

I’m not that clued up on Gardner engines Dennis,especially the older one’s,all I knew was the 150 180 and the 240 then the 201,after came the 230 tubo I think. In fact I ain’t clued up about much at all . 
Cheers Dave.
All the fun of the Fair. I would say this Foden has a 325 ■■■■■■■ in it.

The first 3 you mention are the finest automotive diesels ever made (I hope that cretin Carryfast isn’t on line!!) but the last two you quote were /are a load of crap and you would really be better off with a Bedford engine!!! Dennis.

Tilcon had a few Foden’s with the 201 in them,don’t think they had a lot of trouble with them Dennis,and the blokes at the Gore drove them hard.
Cheers Dave.
Offside view of Jet Morgan’s old B & J Davies Foden,since purchased off another owner by Jet’s brother Les.

Now David don’t get cocky !! being a Fairground motor it could have been “badge engineered” as those lads arn’t short of a trick or two !! When the Fair used to pull onto the square in Milnthorpe twice a year we used to service the two ERF 8 wheelers of Scotts ( Rhyl not Barrow) and they were managed by an old time fairground chap called James Jeffries who had is own side shows as well as the s Scotts Waltzer.The first time we had the motors thro’ the workshop I think the bill was about £75 and James gave me the money in 10 p’s and when the girl in our office counted it out it was £5 too much so she checked it again------- still too much!! So I went down onto the square and knocked on James’s living van door and told him he had paid a fiver more than we charged so here you are! He just winked and said “yea son I know I did” give the fitters a treat and we’ll be back every time were in the village !!!Dennis.

These are from Ross on Wye, Gloucester and Swansea as far as I know Dennis. Kington fair used to be Studts and Knighton fair Hill’s,now some of it’s Danters who are from the Ross on Wye area. It’s a wonder that they keep going with all the health and safety issue’s and cost of running the kit,even though they are on showmans licences.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Dave the show was great .Must have walked around it 10 times lol. There was a good mixture but mainly Scania’s . Not many fodens or ERF’s . Some very good art work on some of them . There was some American trucks there. The one had a sleeper cab bigger than my house!! Have a good one tommorow . Tony
