A few from this years Chipping Steam Fair; at least they were parked much better this year which meant that you could get to photograph them, some fine trucks too the LAD cabbed Dodge had spent some thirty odd years over in Malta before being re-imported for restoration and preservation.

Thanks Jeremy, fantastic that there are folk out there taking so much trouble to preserve things that are not glamorous in the sense of Astons Jags etc.

Yes Pete I grieve that so much of our industrial heritage has gone to the scrap man it's always good to see things saved that other folks would happily discard.

Interesting the Bedford CA van is painted in Morris Lubricants livery they are based up in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, nice looking van either way. I am sure that I have seen the Ford Thames at the G.D.S.F. before now :think:
Nice pics Steve. :thumbup:

Were the sliding doors sported by the Bedford and BMC vans of that era dropped for safety reasons? People carriers still have them? :think:
