Building the M74 near Glasgow 1964
 
Some interesting old on and off road vehicles in this clip. There are even some coaches, near the end, just after the Minister declares it open.

Brilliant Robert, I had forgotten to go back to it and watch it. Great to see it and all the old Atkinson and Thames Trader tippers and I think I saw a Maggi D as well and also the Robsons of Carlisle Foden at the beginning.

That was an excellent film about the building of the northern section of the M74.
Interesting to note that they had at that time ('64-'66 for this film) already planned for the M73 even though it was only completed in 2011.

Also some other good stuff in the (my) sidebar:
