great photos cartran where did you get them from
Brilliant set of pictures Cartran: thanks for sharing 'em! Robert
Hullo Cartrans,
Some really good pictures there, very interesting indeed. I was a sub Contracter for MAT for a few years in the early to late mid 70’s. When I was with them it was mostly 110 Scania’s, together with a few F88’s and an F89. They also had to buy a few Leyland Crusaders to keep the contract at Oxford for BMC Cars. In Hull where I was working from, there was also at the time an old Atkinson and an old Seddon and a Foden that were used to pull trailers off the docks, back to the Yard. There was also two Leyland Comet 4 Wheelers for delivering Groupage in the UK. There was also if I remember correctly in the Yard just before I left a Volvo F7 and a Scania 81 automatic. I also liked the pictures of those DAF’s, I remember those also from later on when I used to meet some of the Lads when transiting through France or Italy
