Followed this Dodge and another exactly the same into the show at Gaydon,will be posting pics like this over the next couple of weeks.
Nice ERF seen at Gaydon.
Left ■■■■■■ Scania 142.
Heavy haulage Volvo F12.
This AEC medium wheelbase tipper was coming in,as we entered the main show area.
A nice looking Leyland eight legger.
A couple more of William Gilder’s.
A Guy Big J chassis cab,for Dennis.
Dave the Renegade:
A Guy Big J chassis cab,for Dennis.
That one would have had Dennis carried off screaming
It had a Leyland 500 fixed head in it, common for Guy 6 leggers of that time.

Hi Trev,
Saw the Leyland badge on it,but didn’t have a closer look. Could be a nice little conversion job for Dennis.Some of the earlier six wheeler Big J’s this way had Gardner 150’s in them.
Cheers Dave.
I drove similar to both of these in the 60’s,only difference the Bedford TK seen here has a Leyland 400 engine,so the owner told me.
The Dodge and Fire Engine.
A couple with the same Ergo cabs,badged up differently.
An AEC Mercury once of Parry of Bayston Hill near Shrewsbury.
Another Shropshire lorry,seen at Gaydon.
When I was a young kid,in the early 50’s the bloke next door drove one of these Leyland Comet’s,it looked a big lorry in those days.
A nice old Albion.
B series from the same stable.
A pair of Swede’s parked together.
This pic illustrates how lorries have moved on in size.The plate alone on the Volvo must be worth a fair bit.
