Leyland Worldmaster

I think I have this video on veeeeeaiiiitccchhhesss! https://youtu.be/S3TyaqBjpNc

The cab- and Engine designation seem familiar; reverse-engineered\ licence built Volvo? It's predecessor seems to have the 'Wendy house' cab... https://harrisgroup.ie/model/sinotruk-a7-series/

https://youtu.be/XvHRunZAYY4 Fake Volvo Olympian filmed driving around... Fishwicks Lynx makes a fleeting appearance.

Wow! Didn't realise Hi o were still selling in the UK! I remember seeing a number of their tippers. Then they seemed to suddenly disappear. Mc Kenna Demolition had one. Used to see it regularly around the Tooting\ Mitcham area! 😎

One of the less ugly ELC bodies. I wonder how long that MAN lasted in service. ELC wasn't a manufacturer of quality products. We had some Scania Omnidekka Buses and they were quick and the brakes excellent. Within weeks of delivery, ominous signs suggested all was not well. Crazing and cracking started to appear around the GRP Staircase Mouldings as well as the GRP Moulding around the Rear Window. They leaked badly around the windscreen too. They would flex noticeably on rough roads. This may be due to the Underframe lacking a Perimeter Frame- a feature that the contemporary Trident and Volvo B7TL- as well as the previous Leyland\Volvo Olympian of course did possess. I was told of a Warranty Meeting where Managers from ELC and Scania had to be physically separated! Body Drop was caused by the Body Bearers towards the rear of the vehicle. I saw one where the Upper Deck structure was resting on the fucking Intercooler! Don't get me started on the Omnitown. That's the worst vehicle I've ever driven.

Assistance request from the AS massive, yo; an Ford tractor unit looking resplendent in unmarked white was observed on the M25\M26 earlier. The last time I recall seeing a newish Ford Lorry- as opposed to an Iveco Ford- was probably 1986. I would have been at Primary School then and I think the operator of that lorry was TNT. Anyhoo; it looked like this:

Oooh yeah... https://youtu.be/elrVq3DsSc8

A couple of memories of Fishwicks:
