Another large part of Amey was Premix, starting with early models.

Wonderful pictures Oiltreader :wink: Do you know if the colour picture of the Conbloc F86 6 wheeler is the same as the black & white one ? If it is do you remember Terry Payne? he was an owner driver who had that lorry and I bought it from him many years ago, I seem to think he emigrated to america or somewhere :confused:

Trev.

Kingston Minerals tippers, I think they may later have become part of the Amey lot, toshboy will right me on that.

They are Bedfords steve, Ameys had a lot of them, and I think that JAMES BREWERS GRAINS used them as well.

Three Mixconcrete of Swindon including a 2stroke Foden.

Hi lemonmouth, I knew some drivers who worked on Ameys but not the Conbloc div, the volvo in the b&w photo would have been same livery as the colour photo.

A couple of Champ Transport.

This Guy or one very similar brought back memories to my first driving job back in 1973,I went to Didcot every day and would see it but never getting an opertunity to photograph it myself…well done Oiltreader for posting it and the others.By the way most of the black and white pics you’ve put up with the NA3T watermarks on them were taken by my great pal Adrian Cypher who did a great job of photographing them. :smiley:
Cheers Bubbs, :wink:

Hi bubbleman,(glad you liked the Champ Guy) and others,
Check into this link for some good photos from Mike Taylor, some character, he kindly offers his photos for anybody to download, it is his life story with photos and an admirable wit.

Hi Steve. Im pretty sure that those trucks are Bedfords .the normal control cabs were removed and replaced with a forward control cab ,giving a longer body and payload – Neville conversions IIRC --Ameys were full of ideas !! —toshboy

Ameys Wootton workshop.

To clarify this fine shot–this one was taken after Hansons abandoned Ameys at Wootton and was previously the Premix workshops —later taken over by WOOTTON TRUCKS who operated a Foden repair business -hence the lack of any visible Amey vehicles - at this time the Amey name had gone. —toshboy

As we seem to have a run on removals here is a trailer I found on the A1 at Leeming Bar.
Passed the unit a bout a mile further on ! (Good job he noticed)
OH DEAR !!!


Hope you like it Jakey ?

This firm of horse transporters is being featured on BBCTV Ch2 Scotland, Fridays 7pm on a programme called Landward, The cab interiors are something else, also the driver has his own accommodation, a home from home.
