Preserved Oldies

Yes Steve the Dodge was immaculate and nicely restored it is indeed a shame that many of the steel cabbed trucks of that era have rusted away, I know that Seddon Atkinson used the Ziebart anti-rust system on their trucks, all to no avail either!!

Our car shop had a Ziebart franchise (They needed it as Austin/Morris dealers ) - The bloke that did it got more on himself - Still he stayed dry when it was raining

Well it was the 50th Salop County Steam Fair and I managed to get a long there for a short time yesterday.
Plenty of the usual preserved trucks, cars, motorbikes, stationary engines and steam engines as you would expect, loads of vintage tractors there for those who appreciate tractors and a few crawlers there too.
Here are some pics of just a few of the old wagons that I got pics of.

Thanks for the pictures. I remember the J and K reg LAD cabs with RMC at5 our local plant. They looked old hat then nect to an ergo but today they look more interesting!

Never seen a Scammell with a cab like Blue eight legger.

Thanks Pete, the RMC LAD cabbed mixer carries a Dudley registration number and there were many very similar that used to run locally to me, I always thought how outdated they looked too!
The Scammell 8 legger is most unusual I have seen a few other pictures of them before but they must not of been one of Scammells success stories as this is the only one that I've seen in the flesh?
I thought the blue 8 wheeler steam Sentinel was also unusual, I didn't just get to take pics of the show wagons I always wonder round the older wagons that folk use to move their tractors and steam traction engines too and of course the fair ground trucks, I will try and post a few more when time permits and also of some of the crawlers.

Great pics.Jeremy, thank you.
I see the old Sentinel has a Gardner badge, I didn't know they fitted Gardner engines. I did quite a bit of work on their own Sentinel Ricardo engines.
Does anyone know if the Scammel rigid 8 used the Scammel box with the "Gate Change"?

Yes Fred I am not very familiar with the Sentinel trucks but the one in the picture had an underfloor Gardner 4LW
I'm sure I took another pic of it so I will get it resized and posted on here.

Well on closer inspection of the said picture of the underfloor Gardner engine in the Sentinel lorry its a Gardner 5LW or 5HLW to give it the correct term and not a 4LW.
Picture of another Sentinel truck that was parked next to the Gardner powered one.
