Wincanton ERF

W.Annetts & Son Mercedes 1617 ? livestock truck.

Cory Distribution Seddon Atkinson.

Anyone recognise the Volvo F10 ■■?

Elliotts Foden from Bournemouth.

E.F.Phillips AEC tipper from Parkstone.

Holloway & Talbot Volvo F7. Dont think we have had one of these before anyone know where they were from ■■?

H C Wilson come from Suffolk and are going strong. They into heavy haulage & abnormal loads. Don’t think they do farm machinery now. Still got the same colour scheme and big scanias

MIMMO :wink:

V b davies,this was an owner driver viv and his son mark drove it they used to park by dvla Morriston nice blokes they were

gazzer:
I just nipped out to the shed and took a snap of a “gift” I stole a few years ago!

If thats as big as it looks it would do nicely as a pig guide board eh !! mums the word about the gift :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: Harvey

Morning Dean,
Wow, its times like this you reolise you learned nothing.
I remember contacting Volvo about the narrow axle requirements of the channel islands and supose the market would not have been big enough for them so I got the big NO.
Great shot of the “thin 89” many thanks

here it is again, I like it. Harvey

narrow volvo.jpg

Come to think of it the Swiss ran thin trucks IIRC they were 2.3mtrs wide, don’t know if they still are but we used to transit in years gone bye with loads of televisions bound for Domodossola for STS and we go there nowadays as well, when transiting you had to get sealed up on the border as well, Buzzer

Didn’t Volvo make a ‘Swiss special’ - a narrow track wagon like Buzzer says- iirc it was called a ‘CH’ - used an F7 cab & F12 engine or something like that.
Perhaps you didn’t - ahem, get on well with the ‘right’ people HRS.

Cheers, Keith

m.a.n rules:
Not 100% sure but i was told that trucks that arrive in Jersey now on the ferry have to tranship on the docks ■■? Can anyone confirm if that is right or wrong ?

not sure mate but having been there on holiday,(beautiful island) you wouldnt want to be driving their roads in a 44 tonner. :open_mouth: :smiley:

Yeah it is a nice place “m.a.n. rules” :laughing:

Cockney Pete3:
Yellow ERF looks like it could be Critchlows out of Stoke.
