Rowena, I hope you’re still doing fine, sound, happy and whatever…

Did you notice “König” on the side of the trailer? They were agents/partners in this type of transport

Looks about right. The Guy is on a '65/'66 plate and the tilt looks to be a 10m job.

I believe that those particular Halpin Continental trailers were purple with orange and white signwriting

Nice Peter Davies shot. A-series, so probably early '70s; with what looks to be a 10m tilt.

That looks more like a 40-footer (12m) trailer to me!
