The pub still looking good, not sure about the truck…
There’s a pile of rust lurking behind the telephone junction box, Paul
I’m sure I recognise the pub- give us a clue.

What with Harry trying to lead me down the wrong road and that retired ■■■■■■■■ sheeter taking the Mick out of the wooden name board I don’t think I could get by without a mouthful of Amber Juice to keep me going. It’s a hard life.

Seddon MK5Hi Chris . There were very many of these mk5 Seddons on BRS early 50s . particularly at theOxford depot -well suited for Nuffied exports large cases. i would dearly love to find the artic/carrimore trailer version picture on these threads and i seem to remember that the BRS forward orders for them amounted to 2 years production.spec was Perkins P6 ,David Brown 5 speed ,eaton 2 sp axle,starting assisted by Ki-gas paraffin /petrol mix hand pumped in whilst manifold heater on in winter .proved a very reliable motor -a payload of 10/12 ton --trailers were Carrimore with king pin set well back allowing the front to be close to back of cab and a bed length of 25 ft ,We had a full set of trailers -flats, boxes, bolster. tilts. low loader etc .very versatile --oh and of course restricted to 20 mph , well thats what the plate said !!! . regards ivor

Just one chain will do driver, VOSA would love that one.
I don’t think he’s finished the job. The centre chain is the first one. If you look, it’s not even fastened yet.
