BC Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Well I went along to try and get some shots of the vehicles on their way home from the Ashgrove Transport Cafe near Huntly. Disappointing in that I was a bit late in getting out to the Glens of Foundland and missed at least anothe half dozen before I stopped at a layby. With hindsight I should gone that bit further and seen them climbing up the Glens Of Foundland. In adddition I missed the North bound ones and missed my pals Scania since he had to take an alternative route to avioid the low railway bridge at Inverramsy near Inverurie. To coin it all the shots are poor given they were going at a fair speed down the hill ;D Never mind here they are for what they are worth A 1970 ERF 64G Reg UFU900J with a 1942 Ford Ferguson 9NAN from Eric Robertson of Brechin Followed close on by his friend Sye Bruce in his K reg Leyland Daf recently acquired ( Ex D C Thomson Dundee) with his petrol paraffin Nuffield on Board Next another ERF which looks to be another 64G. Details of owner unknown Now I never knew that Morris J type vans could go so fast... apologies fro cutting off ;D It is in original condition and was first owned by Hornes Emporium of Fougue . This belonged to my friend Stuart until about a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Taking a bit long to load on the mobile so I will view with pleasure asap from a pc There is a chap who videos it yearly Tris and puts it on DVD and video. I must get a copy this year having seen so little of the vehicles this year. Was speaking to my friend last year and said that for next year they are thinking of a two day event and stopping over in somewhere like Grantown on Spey in Morayshire.

Maybe I should have been "panning" or following them round before clicking Martin ??? Most of my shots are usually still so its a case of point and click ;D I never got it right with the old digital I had Bill, no matter what I seemed to do when taking pics on the Dual Carriageway I wouldn't get the whole machine/vehicle...... :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the other green Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Bill, the lowbed from Truck Plant Services, would it be a Leyland? Maybe a Leyland Lynx. I could be waaay wrong on this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it could well be a Leyland Adam... I'll ask my pal since he knows everything there is to know on the older classics ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Don't you just love Borderers!! Thay are such a characteristic truck, much like the ERF's of the day were too really. Like the tractors of the time. .. and the cars. ... What happened between now and then? \ Oh yeah, Ford made the Sierra!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other green Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yes it could well be a Leyland Adam... I'll ask my pal since he knows everything there is to know on the older classics ;D Be sure to let us know what he says Bill, Its been bugging me all day \ Completely agree with you about the Borderer Deere-est. British trucks from the late '60s and '70s had so much personality. Fodens, Guys, AECs, Albions, Seddons, Scammels (which were built just down the road from where m' mother used to live, she never lets us forget that). Someone more skilled than me should do a poll, what's your favourite classic British lorry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Adam if you interested in some classic British lorries have a look at the attached link on a post I did on a friend of mines collection. There is an Canadian one in there specially for you ;D http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=22021.0 Tris is the trucker on here so he may want to do a poll ???

That was a great post Bill, some nice old girls to be sure. I didn't know Carruthers of Dumfries had trucks. I remember that they had buses. Did a daily run from the New Abbey/Southerness area into Dumfries. The ol' half-shack cabover Mack is a blast from the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a daily run from the New Abbey/Southerness area into Dumfries. The ol' half-shack cabover Mack is a blast from the past He did the engine of that Carruthers Foden many years ago and it was at our local show at Banchory. His plan was to do it in Carruthers colours but it has been put on the back boiler. I hope he does get round to it since I just love the look of those Mickey Mouse Fodens. On the Mack well it just does not "float his boat" so it will be for sale. The cab is in excellent condition so it should be a relatively easy restoration project for someone. Still haven't confirmed on that Leyland yet Adam but I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
