Used to be a pair of 6 pot Nuffields at the Cleveleys end of the golden mile..... Both rough looking, I'm pretty sure that they ended up at the snails yard at Carnforth, one was on a q reg the other had the reg painted on the nose and Bispham Beast down either side of the bonnet, had a straight stack and from memory had a later 6/98 in it rather than the 5.7 BMC..... The cocklers love the nuffys for the higher running height and the faster speed for on the sands, and the fact that if it will turn it will start, another favourite is because the brakes are mounted up on top of the axle keeping them up out of the salty water, I know Nuffield and Leyland brakes are hit and miss at best of times but the cocklers did try and keep them sort of usable as brakes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Not the best of photo ,a very wet Friday several weeks ago i was heading up to Kings Lynn and i was following a recovery truck with a van on it that just said ,Parcel Delivery on the side and a mobile no , anyway after a few miles behind it the rear doors slowly opened and 3 small parcels fell out ,i could not stop to pick them up as there was a few cars behind me and i expect one of them would have run them over ,so if you live in that area and are still awaiting delivery of some items they are probably flat on the road 😬 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
