Stuffed at the back of our workshops yard was a Leyland Octopus with a fridge box…don’t ask me what model. It was there for a few years before it was unloaded (storage) and then scrapped. I did get in it once (aged 16) but it was covered in spiders webs and dust. Flat dash, huge steering wheel and push up windows I think. Didn’t have a camera then!
I think that scammell WMT313 was the shunt unit at Luton dairy ?..travelled many a mile in those riding shotgun with my dad…28mph

These guys used to deliver the new milk floats.
we had this unit on trial for a few weeks. …we gave it the thumbs down, so they sent us 2 to add to our fleet
I thought I had posted this but hobviosly not: These guys delivered the new floats to be painted up and kitted out before use.
I’m sure I posted this before…
