I was wondering if anyone remembers this particular lorry or the firm it worked with or even drove it?
It’s an Atkinson Defender reg. SJR 938N It was new to Moffats Haulage of Cornhill-on-Tweed, Coldstream in Sept 1974. It was supplied as a flatbed with a body length of about 24ft. The cab colour was Mid Brunswick Green with red rad and top bumper. I’ve got a few photos of the lorry as it was when with Moffats. There is also a copy of painting showing the lorry with a livestock box sitting on the flatbed body. The other pics show the lorry with a sheeted load of bagged potatoes.

Sorry to drag up an old post, but I do remember this motor at work - it turned up at Bowker’s warehouse in Blackburn in the late 80s. It was painted red with no name on it, and looking fairly well-worn - I can’t remember what it was carrying, but I dimly recall that it belonged to someone in the East Midlands at the time. I do remember jumping on the fork truck and tipping it myself, though! An 8-wheel flat was unusual even in those days.
