A few of these trucks I've driven and although they didn't have the luxuries of today's trucks I have really fond memories and enjoyed every hour I spent in them, my father drove quite a few of the older ones

Qué bonito vídeo. La música un poquito triste...👏🇪🇦

Glad we don't have to drive these for a living now. I don't miss them either. 20 blankets on engine cover. Shitty clutches that knacker your knees. Brake judders built in. Guess a gear and 2 speed axle changed if you are lucky.

technically albions were Scottish .. but yeah some superb truck ... how on earth did we go from selling all over the world to having nothing left ... very sad state of affairs

Nice bud some old boys there thanks.

Last time I was in Cypress there were loads of old stuff, AEC Marshalls, and older Bedfords.

Great collection. And now Britain has next to no engineering/manufacturing left.

Thanks for posting 👍 since it was possible, man has always been proud of his machine and took pictures of it.✌🙂

I like old British trucks,, reminds me of my Mathbox days when I was a kid, No one made American truck models with that much detail, so we had to collect matchbox.

I for on was glad to see the end of the English trucks. I started on a Atkinson with a 150 Gardner engine no powered steering fiberglass cab. It was a new world when I got a new Volvo F12.

Thanks for rekindling all the memories , of the Commer " knocker " engine screaming it,s way up here dragging loads of cars ( the bloke across the road drove one for a living for years ) , the Bedford 7.5 tonners trundling up here every day to collect the milk churns , again , for years , & the sound of the long - suffering but indefatigable engine in the Leyland ( Amey roadstone lorry ) like the one I passed my test in , just what was still holding it together & how it could still do 60 by the time I got to it I,ll never know , but IT DID ! Thanks a lot .

thank you mr david for these stills. alot of memories. thank you very much

In those days AECs were very popular, but I only saw 4 I think.

Great collection of stills. Thank you for sharing them.

Nice old trucks. So different from trucks today. Bob Reimer drove Mack, s and loved them old rigs. He wrote THE B MODEL MACK SONG by THE COUNTRY TIGERS CANADA. Please check it out and enjoy. Tks much.

Many of those trucks were common site in Jamaica but are now over taken by American and Japanese ones.

Thames Trader and the Scammel scarab were always my favourites

Love the Ford tractor unit.

I grew up with a BMC.the music is very nice.thanks...

There's someone coming on the telly and the radio at 6 to address the nation. This is a tough time for us all... 😢🥺🙁

A lot of trucks in Britain was the same as in new Zealand and Australia

There's a fair amount of pictures of Maltese trucks in this video, most of which I personally recognize. I have a feeling that that pic of the green Austin was taken inside a warehouse in Hal Far. If it is, I was the middleman when it was sold to the Malta Historic Vehicle trust. I reckon Malta is probably one of the best places on earth to come and see old British lorries and cars trundling along...

We had Thames Trader & Ford in jamaica as fire units .& early 80s a few of them were still in use.

The first truck shown here still exists! It's a prototype, which features a gas turbine engine, it lives in a museum, and does get started and taken to shows. As far as I know, it's never been registered for road use, so is in factory condition.

Thankyou for uploading this. I am not impressed with the styling of these trucks. Hopefully they have upped their game since these were built. Class Pays!

Albion works, South Street, Clydeside, I used to deliver rear axle units there from Pamplona in Spain.

All these brit trucks were absolutely hideous things to drive, ERF's/ Fodens/ Sudden Accidents ect with low power Gardner and non synchro gearbox's just had to be the worst. Its no wonder the British truck industry is no more, flattened for good by DAF, Scania and the mighty Volvo's..

@williamwoods8022

+Draxindustries1 That will be Daf and Scania and many more that were based on Leyland engines etc. Gardner engines were successfully used in many different types of buses in the UK as well for decades and were very reliable as were Leyland, AEC, Daimler, Bristol etc and as for gearboxes it was what the operators wanted that went into the trucks and buses and even when the manufactures were offering semi and fully automatic it took them a long time to change over to them. It was joining the commercial side that was very profitable to the car side that was not that brought down the truck and bus makers as that was sucking all of the profits out of the commercial side into the car side.
