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?

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.
