toxic gas man:
Could it be an SandR contract tanker Chris?

Aye it could well be an S and R contract wagon,or even ex S and R.Hard to tell without any signwriting on it. Somebody might recognise it.

Hi Dean,
I think? that could be long serving blue line driver malcolm ridhout in the 1626 merc.Blue line had three of those.Powered by a V6 260HP,good machines,all consecutive S registration.Malcolm always looked after his motors.

Great shot DEAN ,looks like its loaded for British Tissues , they hauled quite a lot out of that place ,regards Keith

Thanks for your comments Keith.

Chris Webb:
Anyone recognise the ERF tanker ■■?
The livery reminds me of VP Wines but it has a WX West Riding reg plate. Looks like it’s a foodstuff tanker,edible oils etc…

T1 New World Bedford.

Hi Dean, This caught my eye, very old type of roof makes it look a lot older than the truck.
With the extra leg at the back by the tail lift runner,could this be an old demountable set up ■■
Great shots once again, Harvey

You could be right Harvey as it looks like the front leg is possibly in the raised postion just at the
end of the fuel tank ?

One of D M Smiths early Bow Front Atkinsons.

D M Smith brand new AEC Mercury tractor unit on trade plates.
