Photos of some unusual vehicles.

[G-CPTN]

Whilst surfing for something that I can't remember - oh yes, it was chinese-six Bedford trucks (not the VAL) - I happened upon this collection of photos by Len Rogers:- http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/len_rogers.htm

Too many to comment on, but there is a Volvo F7 8-wheeler . . .
Can't be too many of those, Shirley?

Probably not too many left working for a living. There were several around Keighley, (West Yorkshire) working as tippers. They were quite popular amongst the drivers who had had Octopus, Mammoth Majors and Defenders etc.

There are a lot of firms on there that have ceased trading, changed names or merged with others and lost their names. Some wagons that I knew, too.

Yes some of very unusual vehicles..Some of them are as rare as old movies prints.Very less.Thanks for sharing.DAF 2000 is the cute one .All of them are unique in themselves

That is a fantastic collection of trucks and has some of the finest trucks I have ever seen – in fact; I’ve never seen some of those on the roads!! It is amazing that we have so many of them on the roads and yet don’t get to identifying them here!! I am sure that some of them have disappeared from the roads now!!

Hmm! I wonder whether these vehicles are still intact as they don’t run in roads right now!I think most of these trucks are indeed considered to be a collector’s item just like a vintage. Anyway, I have to say this is a really good collection of trucks which I haven’t seen until now!

Great to see these G-CPTN, brings back some memories. Just shows how they have changed over the years.
Glad he has recorded them for prosperity
