That Matador is ex Sir Robert Fossett's Circus from Northampton and Atlas Editions made a model of it (although they got the reg wrong). I didn't realise it was still (just about) in existence.

Boring USA spot, I won't spam you with normal 'hooded' trucks from over there, as incredible as they are.

Rare GMC T7500. Basically a rebadged Isuzu Forward with domestic engine options. Not sure if they were built in Japan or a third country.

Note the hastily added fog lights, HA's of course were first made long before fog lights became a requirement.

Looks like the back wheels have dug into the ballast.

FAR started off making Scammell's mechanical horses before designing their own. FAR were bought out by Saviem who eventually merged with Renault.

Ooops, one block of marble too many, perhaps they need an Avtocran AK-75 to help remove it.

Talking of Saviems here's a JL20.

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.

Here’s an overloaded AEC Mammoth Major 6 doing a wheelie!

Ex Wimpey tipper now in off highway use for a road construction contractor during the building of the M25. 
These were literally loaded until nothing else would physically fit in the back! They were beat to hell but cobbled back together to keep them going. In the days before ‘elf & safety’ ruined everything.

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?
