Scored like a feature film...big, fat sound. Holds up well

Sturdy fellows when we consider sleeper-less cabs (no doubt it was digs, & routers for sleeping accommodation) Cut my teeth aged 23 hauling in a Leyland T45 Naturally aspirated Rolls Eagle 300 Used to run up to Pamplona, tip Madrid, return load from the south somewhere near mini Hollywood (the infamous film set for those spaghetti westerns) Nr Almeria. Ahh the glory days 🤙🏽

We couldn’t have survived without real workers like you 👍

beautiful old films, its great to see old trucks working and how they would have looked, not just parked up at a vintage rally.

Wonderful films , just like a window to the past

Great to see so many roads without traffic no wonder things ran on time

It's so good to see the old times and the old-timers. Nowadays, when I drive my vintage tip lorry, I can imagine what a hard work it was. Thence, they are heros to me.

Great to see Customs checks back in use.

Love the music score !

Its just all so lovely.

How tiny those ships look to modern eyes - but how spacious and empty the towns look compared to now as well.

Very pleased you enjoyed them

@Shaun Morris I rember Bedford MW and OY trucks, all painnted admiralty grey. packed with drums of Jersey Royals in St Helier harbour waiting to be loaded on the mail boat for shipping in the late 1960's.

Everything looked so clean and fresh because it was virtually brand new. The country was destroyed during the war in the early to mid 40's and rebuilt during the mid to late 40's so in the 50's everything was brand new, clean and fresh faced.

I've got many happy memories of that little pub from dozens (if not hundreds) of ferry journeys I made working as a ships hand from 1957 to circa 1973.

Life though hard for many looked far nore slower paced.

Thursday morning in Antwerp & arrived in Milan on friday ? In those days Friday week.

Not a chance and given he went through Austria. Today we can put a load on the train at Daventry and in twenty four hours be in Domodossola. And friction less trade!

Google Maps says nowadays 921kms and 10hrs 4 mins (car, avge 56mph, no stops/borders). Funny the filmmakers overlooked these "details"! Must have worked for the BBC to be this economic with the truth.

Bring back single axle trailers

Tiny lorries, small ships, endless delays, incompatible equipment. It's amazing that it was do-able at all. I suppose people were optimistic, before age and cynicism set in and corrupted us

Love these old films and especially as they're not accompanied by crashing heavy metal soundtracks. Bet those custom officers weren't checking for illegals!
