Enjoying your vintage photos of cars & trucks from England United States. I'am from Virginia, USA. I still own my first car, 1959 Chevy Bel Air, Big Wing Car, Batmobile Looking. 1967 Jeep CJ6 & My Oldest, 1930 Ford Model A with Rumble Seat in Trunk Area. Thank You For Your Time & Effort For Your ytube channel. Sincerely Mr.T
Spent well over the 45 mins running time of this video studying the photos. There is so much to see if you look. I find these photos fascinating. Thank you.
In 1977, I drove a J2 minibus from the garrison pool. After about a month, it was changed for a brand new Bedford Blitz, the Germabversion of the CF. I was in BAOR at the time. It was in my last 6 months before leaving the army. The J2 had cable linked gear change and was a pig to drive. The next thing I drove was a Ford Transit in civvy Street.
Ay 36:50, that is an oilfield truck, with heavy loads (looks like a generator) always on skids, and loaded by a winch behind the cab lifting the front of the skids up and over a roller across the back of the body ............... front wheels high off the ground were (and still are) common sights, the same loading method is still used today. Sorry I don't now the truck, but they were often small specialist ''off main brand'' builders .
Had to smile at the Austin J4 van. When I started work in 1974 as an apprentice agricultural engineer the company were using J4's. Had to run around with L plates until I passed my test. Your knees were the crumple zone !!! Eventually they upgraded to Sherpa vans, we thought they were luxury, we were easily pleased those days.
Hi 👋 When i was very young a long time ago now in the street i lived in a family owned a Bradford van. I'm not sure how old it was, but it was fairly old even then. I was friendly with a boy in their family and i can remember trips and outings in it. They had a 1950s Morris Oxford car as well. I remember British trucks such as Bedfords being on the roads. Good old photos you have.
I enjoyed that thank you. In the 60s construction Rd companies used ex military WW11 trucks as did garages as towing trucks. I suppose I must be the last of a generation to remember these types of trucks in daily use. Also at the time Travelling circuses and fairground travellers would use all manner of unusual interesting commercial vehicles as well. On the GPO in 1975 we had one Morris LD at 41:59 used for railway station duties, nicknamed Big Bertha. At 10:10 the Bedford TK tipper bought back memories as I'd sometimes go with dad to work in his circa 1967, it was a C reg 1965. And as for the Jowett Bradford our neighbour Mr Crawte owned two circa 1965 one in use , one as a spare. He then progressed to a P4 Cyclops Rover. Why do I always remember such useless information 😂 I'm looking forward to when you show the pic of the Singer SM1500 and Hunter police cars Richard. Cheers 🍻
Very nice collection there. Different times and in some cases a very different place, in the world. I am with you Rick, I find myself asking what is going on? It just shows you though that the same sort of accidents happen today with the tanker 'taking a drink' i think the tanker Has fuel in it otherwise I reckon it would have been totally In the drink! Don't you just love the creativity with the ice cream vans, wonderful. Thanks for putting this together Rick. 👍👍
the truck lifted up by what looks like an oil field generator these trucks have roller across rear of bed then load winched up on to truck still do the same here in the USA as load moves forward truck comes back down level. this rig looks like it is in India as man on right has what looks like a turban on his head ???? I have hauled oil field pieces loaded on to my truck by backing trucks together then winching load from oil field rig on to my trailer so i could haul it across country so the oilfield truck stays with in the local area. Most of my moves where from Wyoming to Texas/Oklahoma oil field Keep the old tuck videos coming takes me back to my Lorry driving days in England in the 60s and early 70s Ed 40 s of Vegas
Me again , I decided to Google Bradford van and it came up with a Jowett Bradford. The image showed a 1952 model that was the same as my neighbour's one.

Favourite: 10:21 Tempo Matador (with a face only a mother could love!) 😁👍
Some great old photos there, I always find it astounding just how few cars on on the roads back then compared to today. Nice one RJ.

The steam Lorry at 23:26 I suspect may be an Alley & Maclellen Sentinel circa 1905-ish.

fantastic collection of the commercials. Git to love a comercial van.

I think the three wheel truck is a Karrier mechanical horse ,converted to a small truck.
Shell Chemicals Lorry with dipped headlights. 😊
at 16:00 possibly a Fordson WOT (wot1 ?)
I enjoyed that thank you.

I saw on youtube someone restore one of those trucks at the 3:32 moment in your video. I think it was in France and maybe a Renault or Simca
I looked again on-line and I think it is a Tempo Hadseat or a Goliath

Some of the photos have so much going on in them, putting these together is no hardship
at 13:00, could it be a Büssing NG Type 900 ?
