I thought that this one deserves an airing ,best part of a days work to load it let alone to deliver it.how many of todays ‘drivers’ would like to take this one on for a living.driven by a class 1 driver without a class 1 licence !!
That is a great picture tosh.
regards dave.
Thanks to toshboy, buzzer and Lawrence Dunbar for the pics 
I note on the Saviem thread Chinese Six discussion and thought about adding some, second thoughts not quite Gallic, or Black Country or agricultural, the main themes of a very readable thread, so forgive me, a few from my alphabetical C division 
some posted before mebbe 
Oily
Two more, ok not lorries, apologies… but examples nevertheless of what I would call twin steer. First the John Tyrell grand prix car and the very popular(at one time) Bedford Val

Adjustment, sized up and shaded a bit, looks like Malvern Road destination, Bournemouth trolley bus perhaps
Oily
Evening all, Lurpak, Oilly, thanks for those images.
Early post WW2 Wolverhampton had some of those 6 wheeled Bournemouth Trolley buses. Only they hung onto them! Ran in the Bournmouth livery of yellow and brown, really handsome to look at. Gosh, they did seem huge back then, always garaged at the Cleveland Road Depot…still there, complete with its tram tracks, but , (of course), due for “re development”…even the trams now come from Italy…and break down frequently…
Cheerio for now.

Hi Saviem,
Here is a pic of a Bournemouth Trolley bus working in Wolverhampton, where is it? I think Cannock road because of the houses but I can’t place the shop, over to you! Cheer’s Pete

How did that Japanese-looking Chinese-Six end in Britain?

Quote from Wikipedia “Hino Trucks are also assembled in The Republic of Ireland by J Harris on the Naas/Nangor Roads ,Dublin”
and this from Independent News 1996… “Since 1968 when Robert “Pino” Harris began importing and assembling a then unknown Japanese truck, the Hino, in Ireland, he has cut a swathe through UK rivals and largely driven them out of the Irish market.”

Harrisons Of Dewsbury had just one Leyland Steer (a van with and “open top”), Joe Tinker was the regular driver on London trunk (no motorways in 1959). It ALWAYS had a drawbar trailer hung on. One of Joe’s party pieces was regularly to take the top layer off when he hit the low railway bridge at Ackworth, the shunter had been too greedy and loaded it over height. “Hello. it’s Joe, can some of the lads come out to Ackworth in the van, there are a few bales on the floor…again”

Thanks, Oily! I now remember Hino trucks are indeed widespread in Ireland, and even London.
Picture taken in the City of London in May 2007. Hino trucks were also at a time commercialised in France, precisely in Cherbourg; one could see them around in the early 80s.
Thanks to lurpak, pete smith, Froggy55 and servo88 for the pics
Hinos in Ross-shire and Inverness.

As we seemed to have switched to Trolley buses at the moment,a nostalgic moment has come over me. my last ride in one of these was in 1940 when evacuated from the East end (sad i know )

Carrying on with the trolley bus theme
These are from my home town of Bulwell in Nottingham
Last time I travelled on a Nottingham City Transport trolleybus was in 1960. Big 6-wheeler whispering menaces, they were! Robert
