Can anybody help? I see on the internet that truck experiences are being offered by various providers. These are often an hour with a truck on a private site, e.g. a disused airfield, splitting the hour between instruction and a short drive. I am thinking of doing this to relive my trucking days back in the 1970s/80s but the offered trucks all look modern. I really want an old ERF or similar cab with the rangechange gearshift.
Does anybody know of any retro truck experience on offer? My licence lapsed years ago so I would need to be on private land although I could still drive one of the smaller Ford D series cabs on public roads under reserved rights (I am 68). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I don’t know anyone who does this but I became friends with a bloke not far from me who had a 1978 Kenworth cabover as a hobby truck that he let me drive around the block. I live in the US now and joined an Antique truck club, there’s probably one over there. Of course goin to the truck shows is a great way to meet people but shows are canceling left and right over here.

Andrew. - Thank you for the suggestion. Please bear in mind that what I am looking for is a British retro experience in a 1970s/80s truck preferably an ERF (A or B series) or Foden with a rangechange gearshift as that was most of my working experience after I started out in Ford D series (although I would still enjoy having a go on one of those). I will have a look at Mark’s website.
