AAO 40J looks like to be ex Stampers . trevor
Hi Oily, and fastrucker. This ERF was bought new by Jeff J.G. Stamper in 1969 replacing NAO 158F a similar ERF 66GX which I bought and shown recently on this page. Incidently my preserverd ERF is just in shot to the left of this photo taken at Kirkby Stephen Rally. Also the J.J. Bateman Atkinson belongs to my mate Colin Bateman son of J.J. and is a perfect replica of the Atkinson L745 (PAO 223) bought by his dad in 1953 which I can remember hauling livestock around my local area. I did some woodwork on the cab restoration of this wagon. With temporary numberplates on the rally site it reverts to its Lanarkshire registration when on the public highway.
Cheers Leyland 600.
J Haydon’s garage early 60s when there was no H&S, just common sense, big spanners and lot of oil
I changed the oil on my Vauxhall Cavalier over that pit in the 80s - could hardly inch it forward as the tyres were on by 1/4 inch either side 
Cheers for the pics Gardner 120 good action shots with the inspection lamp clipped on the cowling etc.

A good while back I wrote to Richard Mohr and had a positive reply for use of his photos, the first pic is the man himself at the 2009 Brisbane Truck Show, the wagons are Western Star.
By the way the trailer is sagging, Lawrence, that’s one lump of machinery!

The Renault looks as though it’s got enough on at the moment. A fair old load is that.
The American drawbar outfits, why do they have such a long drawbar? I remember our drawbars and they only seemed to be half as long as the Americans.
