I think Andrew should “dispose” of his Big Rig and buy this “joints” Foden!!! A far better motor to be seen driving and there looks to be plenty of room to kip on the back!!! Dennis.

A 1950’s Leyland,parked next to one from the 60’s.

Now we are talking Harry’s motors with this shot!!!

hiya,
The old Octopus would be a tad too heavy on the handlebars for me now Dennis, but they was’nt a bad old motor and did have a heater which kept the temperature just above freezing if climbing Shap with 14tons on the tug and 6tons on the pup, but i am talking to the educated, you and Mr P will have done some/plenty.
thanks harry long retired.

Don’t know much about the Scania. I worked with the late Doug Dawe when he drove an eight wheeler AEC out of Gore Quarry. I think his son Steve runs the firm now.

hiya,
Dave was Lloyds old Maudslay 8 legger present??, that is a nice old motor i drove a 1939 model for a short while when i first kicked off now that was hard work,no heater no nowt the only plus was it looked well and was well maintained, i think the boss only let me drive it because he thought i would’nt be able to manage it and would have given the other older guys something to laugh about, i proved him wrong drove it it tipped it and re-loaded it and got it back without scratching the paintwork, and yes the Guvnor did give it a good coat of looking at on my return, only left that job because it was only local work and i wanted to get stuck into journey work, the boss did give me a good reference and told me to come and see him if i ever needed a job, people used to say i was the youngest legal 8 wheeler and trailer driver in Britain just 21 and a few weeks of age when i left for pastures new.
thanks harry long retired.
