Green & Red livery

[southlondoner]

I’ve often wondered where does the green and red livery of so many trucks originate from ? many companies years ago had green cabs and maybe a red chassis and wheels or grill, this colour scheme is still evident in modern fleets i.e Stobarts and another I can think of Fagan & Whaley, there is also a French Magnum I see regularly on the M20 with green and red cab panels but no signwriting, anyone got any nice green and red lorry pics.

Here’s a couple…Ellerpack from Yorkshire who took over Hewson Brothers (Howden) East Yorkshire.The F12 coming out of Dover is when George Allinson bought out and ran the Ellerpack brand…

Red and green has always looked good on lorries -

Sorry, have to disagree. Two shades of blue, red and white. T. Brady & Sons.

Practically perfect in every way!

Not the best example, but better than green.

I am with you on this,

The green & Red looks good, But Blue looks better, especially with a bit of white thrown in

Three companies running today who still use Green & Red livery albeit slightly different shades of Green.

I alway thought this Scania 111 had an unusual livery but smart.
