14 litre ■■■■■■■■■ replied you wont know I have been here as I wont leave an oblong oil patch.I got on really well with Sam and his wife.I also got him some parts for his Rover 3.5.Sorry to have gone of topic a bit.
Yes if it did not have a Gardner in, Sam didn’t want to know…

This Foden was over twenty five years old and still working when this photo was taken for a feature about Sharples in one of Truck magazines.
Cheers Dave.
Is that the one that got rebuilt for mr Simmons to drive as he wouldn’t drive a newer one.

I think this about the model Foden that Ted Symonds drove towards the end. When I drove for Brisbane’s out of the Strinds, he drove an Albion Reiver for Sharples.
Cheers Dave.
Sharples ran several eight wheeler tippers on steel through the years. They ran sand down to South Wales and with coil wells fitted,loaded coils out of South Wales to various places in the UK.

A Sharples Foden on general haulage.
Looks like a Carmichael body on this one.
Not quite so old. Ivor Duggan’s Foden Perkins engined eight legger,seen at Dolyhir Quarry.

I remember the new body on the back was a lot wider that the old one, he used to park it just up from the eardisland junction towards hardwick
