It's strange how the mind works. At first glance, the third pic down was the dozer driver saying to the dumper driver " Did you know there's a rock on the roof?" Wasn't 'till I expanded the frame I saw the loader behind!
To me, it's only recently there appears to have been a fad for giving names to vintage tractors and writing it on the bonnet. Can't ever recall seeing it on plant before - unless it's broken, then it probably couldn't be printed.
If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

The 4th pic down, the Ruston Bucyrus on the AEC low-loader looks like it could be an RH175, one of only 3 made, the 175 was basically a 155 upper on a 220 undercarriage. :thumbup:

The image quality of the picture with the Vauxhall is very impressive.
Crane in the last pic looks like a small house.

Yes, a lot of amateur colour photos from 60s and 70s were not sharp and then have faded overtime.
