Hi jamie, no mate, ours is an A reg 6x2. Think this firm sold all their gear to Trailer maker and truck dealer Rothdeans, which is who we bought our motor from. Rothdean was only really interested in the trailers the firm had but got various ERF’s as part of the deal. Cheers for the pic though Jamie, been after some pic’s of their’s for age’s, nice one :smiley: :smiley: :wink:

G’day,
It’s nice to see some different H F Heard and Leese’s Haulage motors,are they both still about?
I found another H F Heard pic,not the greatest quality,my early camera wasn’t great at taking moving shots. It was taken at the bottom of the N Devon link road in 1990.


Another logger from Bowdens of Oakhampton,looks like a 301 with a load of fence posts,taken in the same spot as the H F Heard 300,but in May 1991.

This is the same motor that Bubbs posted before on this page,but I reckon it’s an earlier shot as in does’nt have the spoiler fitted,taken in their yard on a saturday morning in 1987.
Cheers Jamie

Referring to the Maggie running in Torridge colours AYA975X, it was an ex Langdons O/D motor who decamped in june/july 84 and started to pull for Torridge. I think it was Colin Wensley. I was on for Langdons then and drove AYA974X.

292

I think that R reg B series of M H West is still on the road, it passed me on the M5 near Taunton within the past 12 months, making it over 30 years old.

293

A thank you to NZ and Bubbs, cheers for the ACE-TIP pics lads. soon as computer is fixed i will post some pics of our old C series,
Regards, Chris :smiley: :wink:

I saw it heading toward St.Ives last summer with,i think,a Moffet Mounty (or simillar) on the back.

Saw that old motor about 9 months ago on the M25. I’m pretty certain it had a mounty aswell.
