What is this trailor, Second one down and has it been modified in some way■■? :confused:

This trailer was built by Charles Roberts in Leeds, they only built 2 semi tralers and Glendinnings ended up with both, Got a photo of it loaded with 12 by Screw Loose. The trailer was last seen at Perth Car Transport. More than you can achieve on your plus 11!

Here it is Buzz0

Rubbish! I can get a better 12 car load than that on my plus 11, will get photos, Meanwhile u r familiar with the plus 11, So the first one i did was, Rover75 sal no1 deck, 45 no2, 75 est no3, 75 est on the peak, 45 no5, 25 no 6, 75 sal behind cab, mgb on scissor, 25 below, 45 in belly, 25 on back ramp, and another 75 sal last on. S orry but that is better than kev;s load of metro;s!! :sunglasses: p.s if my memory serves me right the running height was15;8. Davy mcdine was with me on that very day and we got a fairly similar load on his plus 11. pps Please dont get me wrong, i guess that charles roberts trailor was ok in its time, however time has moved on and in my opinion the plus 11 is pretty much the biz :sunglasses:

hiya,
How old is the Albion the reason i ask is i did a few weeks work for a company called Bob Bennett of Bacup in Lancashire way back in the late 1957s this was supposedly a 1940s motor but had a normal flat body and even that far back in time was always referred to as the “old red Albion”, it i think it had Albion’s own engine and it used to “backfire” if you took your foot off the gas quickly used to try and make it happen when alongside a bus queue, always was a bit sadistic, fairly sure the cab was identical.
thanks harry long retired.
