Re: Classic pictures Updated 07/01/2024
I am not sure the Transcontinental was a very big seller. Seem to remember it was very heavy for 32 ton max UK artics at the time.

Re: Cement mixer ID
As Pete says this design was for 'fast tow'. Most of the mixer makers had a ' Fast Tow 'model in their range. Benford , Winget , Parker spring to mind.

Fuso Tadano TS75M Crane ( Classic ? )

( Lots of steel seems to go into any roof alteration work these days , assume building reg.s have changed. ) Reminded me of smaller Hydrocons. To add to the flavour the street is full of 70 ye...
