Correct, another late one.
The low loader is usually a double man job, Northeast to London and home again. They want x4 or x5 double deckers a week at the moment… I usually want some sleep by then

Can’t imagine that being the best trailer to drag around London.
Good luck with 5 trips a week.
here’s some more of Sunters, a couple of A.L.E.'s Faun trundling up the A1 at Catterick and one G.C.S. Johnson I think that was on the A68 but not sure it was taken a long time ago. cheers prattman.

Passed it parked up the other day in the factory I guessed that was the case. I could have repaired the Rotor then drove it back to Poland. I served my time at Parsons as an Armature Winder, then had a career change and took up driving Low loaders… honest ha ha
