great video, worked on a lot of them old trucks as a young lad i remember the rear spring suspension on the six wheeler leyland rievers so many pins and bushings, they were a nightmare at m.o.t time, thanks for uploading.
I'm a great lover of British trucks especially Bedford of which there are a great many here going right back to ww2. The interesting thing is once you disregard the surface rust a great many of these vheacles have really solid bodies. It must be the dry climate. I know with my tk trucks it was always the body work that took the time sorting, salt and mud and in my case on the farm it was muck rotted them if you let it. All of the vheacles shown would be a great source of bits and many deserve restoration. Interesting vidio.
Hi, some i just spotted on my travels, the majority are from a breakers yard in Eastern Cyprus, the yard owner kindly let me go round to photograph them, quite a place.
Must be in South Africa ?? Not hot enough !! Its Eastern Cyprus from another posting , very dry like Malta .. be worth importing one or two of them as probably no body rot ..some nive Albions AECs and Leylands ergonomics
Does anyone else have sad feelings when seeing these old beauties or is it just me?
Absolutely. I think it's an unforgivable waste of life.

Leyland, Bedford, AEC, Albion, Commer, Seddon, Thames Trader ........ a bygone time when the UK made trucks and the world bought them.
Wow wonderful video. Sad to see them all as old relics.
Blimey, there's a Dodge Barreros there! Haven't seen one of those in decades, they weren't popular in the UK as I recall.
Classic lorry restorer's Disneyland.
A lot of good spares to be had.
Thinking same. A couple good ones out of that lot.
