The overloaded truck reminds me of a photo from Norway of another overloaded truck that I have shared before.

I'm guessing this is a police check and with people on the back it made it do this.

Is that a Morris? It looks it could be a scene from 'Heartbeat' where Claude Greengrass has got himself into one of his many scrapes.

Yes I'm pretty sure this is a Morris and think a LC but not sure about the model number but taking a guess at an LC5?

Roll up, roll up, the circus is in town! Come and witness rare and wonderful sights like a Scammell Highwayman and a Kenworth side by side, and a breeding pair of Peterbilts.

They've got five American trucks that they've had a while but the Scammell is a recent acquisition from the sadly defunct Carters Steam Fair. They've kept Carters livery as a tribute but asked Joby Carter to signwrite their name on it. It does run and they collected a living trailer with it recently (a long and slow journey) but usually travels on a low-loader and is used just as an eye-catcher.

This interesting 1952 Bedford O type skip lorry was spotted on display at the Gloucestershire Vintage & Country Extravaganza last year. Apparently in the mid-50s, Boughtons were building skip loaders for use on oilfields in the Middle East and some of their first utilised Bedfords. One was exhibited at the Commercial Motor Show and a resulted in a collaboration with the French manufacturer Marrel and the result was the Boughton-Marrel skip loader.

Here's a weird one.

This old Iveco looks like it's been dragged out of a hedge  but what's going on with that numberplate? FSS 9601 certainly isn't a UK reg and doesn't match any format I recognise.

Looks like a garden growing up on the cab roof and down the curtain side!

Thats got ‘pull me over’ written all over it driving around in that state.

Isn't that a Norn Iron number plate? Often sold cheaply in GB to folk who either want a) a 'personal' plate but don't have the gelt or b) want to cheaply disguise the age of a vehicle.

Both of these companies are still with us, they sell furniture.

FIAT 625's.

A Saviem SM10 , they had a large spacious cab with a flat floor and the gear lever came out of the dash next to the steering wheel.

UAZ-452D.

A KAZ-4540, got the looks of those Leyland DAF's the MoD used to use, the ones that replaced the Bedford TK.

This is brilliant - this is an electric maid of all work at a brewery in Vitebsk, Belarussia. It was made in Bulgaria by Balkankar. 1967.

The coalman is after some plaice on the bone. Or eggs.

If I was the lad on the bike I'd start saying random numbers out loud. That'll teach him.

I believe there's a Citroen H type under these.
