A few more pics of old Carters -
Old Merc at the docks, in the white and green livery.
F89, in the old green livery. Note the F86’s in the background, this looks like it is parked behind the sheds at their Melton depot!
This one is historic…a Foden pulling containers, must be early 70’s as it’s an old L-reg (1973?). The original Deben Coeur de Lion, there have been a few more trucks with that name on their fleet since then.
