lesapandre Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 The split-screen Daimler hearse is a real beauty. Hope it survives - possibly a straight 8. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Absolutely fantastic, Trigger, thanks for posting..... Rolls-Royce CD1 was the Mayoral car for Brighton, ABC1 was the one for Leicester. for me though it is all the background stuff that wins! chaseracer, trigger, Brian Damage and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 I might as well chuck up the commercial stuff, seeing as i'm in front of the PC for a change. I think most of it is in Brighton?. lesapandre, Jon, Toledo71 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Such a pity more old lorries were not saved. The old Fodens and ERF's really are things of beauty.

Vin Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Bracebridge Mental Hospital was in Lincoln. Called 'St John's'. The wagon has a Lincolnshire registration (TL) too... The other Lincolnshire registered wagon (this time FW) Osgerby's coal & coke...Osgerby's haulage were based in Barton on Humber and ran a predominantly Volvo fleet from what I recall. Quite a lot of the Leyland Beavers in preservation started life as mobile chest x-ray units. Low mileage and long service lives ensured survival. Tuberculosis was the main reason for their existence. The good old days, eh?? trigger, mercrocker and sierraman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 At first I thought Mini, but going by the wheels/hubcaps/rear lights I’d say DAF. Plus it appears to be at the back of a DAF dealer stand, going by the flag at top left. I love the mustard Daimler Sovereign parked across two bays on the previous page, just shows parking like a tw@t to keep the oiks away is not a new thing! mercrocker, RayMK and trigger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busmansholiday Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Superb Trig, keep 'em coming. Who ever took them had an eye for the commercial stuff like me, AEC first then Atkinson then the rest. Love the B&W of the Ipswich trolleybuses, must have been the last few days?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyG Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Are the funny little vans with the single headlights electric? I love the blue ‘Dorothea Restoration Engineers’ one, particularly with the bored looking apprentice in the passenger seat - I say seat, it was probably a milk crate. He looks like he’s regretting not working harder at school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
