GOM, an AEC man through and through. I’m so old I’ve even driven a ‘2 stick’ Mk 3
Happy days
Would I go back ? nah, no digi tacho card for this old lad, I’ll live on my happy memories.

All day long, I can admire the pictures and the ones I see on the road, but then I remember the 3am starts on freezing winter’s mornings which I actually enjoyed at the time, and the longer distance the better.
But now, if I have to go to the big town (15 kms) for something Amazon can’t bring, I have to phsych myself up for it.

Now here’s a border through which I doubt any of us on here has ever driven a lorry: China / Myanmar. And, of course, it looks like any other truck border crossing point!

I’ll take the Austin, straight swap for my Jaguar (had it from new, 20 years old this month)

You may have, you may not have, but I have seen it before and it doesn’t age. Always good for a laugh.

Scania and roomy is a bit of a stretch, even on the current models.
That cab was introduced in the '90s, as a TM I was invited to a launch and drive at that truckstop at Shepshed just off the M1 in Leicestershire. Unfortunately it was on a Saturday and coincided with a big petanque competition, so it only took a moment for me to decide and thus I have never even been inside the cab of one.
I never liked Scania cabs. Like the Ford Transits, they’re made for short drivers.
Is that a Singer? My parents had one when we were kids, no caravan though, although we may have been in one when we got there.
Hillman is it?
I think you could be right, not quite right for a Singer perhaps.
It’s a Hillman.
A 1953 Hillman Minx to be precise, the penultimate side valve model.
