Old memories of childhood in India back in the early 70s era have comeback. Lots of Bedford trucks & buses along with Dodge Fargo truck and of the Leyland Titan double decker buses.
Hi Ruairidh, The opening shots of the Thames Traders brought back memories, I drove a 3 tonner and a 15 cwt. Thames van for Chas Brand & Sons back in the 1960s. They were repairing the main elevated sewer lines at East Ham, London. Once while driving the Trader through the Blackwall tunnel the exhaust fell, boy what a racket!!! Later on I progressed to an ERF 7 tonner with a 5 pot Gardner engine, transporting construction equipment from S London to Beachly near Chepstow S Wales. I discovered photos of this truck, fully restored in her CBS livery and would love to get in contact with her present owner. If you know of her or see her in your travels please message me back. Thanks BS
Nice collection of classics, the old Dodge Kew reminded me of the old truck movie " Hell Drivers "...must check the dvd, that might have been one of the trucks used in the film.
Great to see and hear the old hgvs I drove a few of the type and brings back memories of them
Fabulous. The sound of a two stroke Commer never fails to light the nostalgia circuits up!

It amazing to see how y’all in Britain preserve your history much better than we do in the US

My father used to take that No.37 bus to Clapham Common back in the 50's to 60's. He used to take the No.35 too.
Great VIDEO mate thanks for sharing,happy New Year!
I wonder if the Octopus tanker set off that car alarm!
It's a well known phenomenon so quite possibly, or another truck.
