Fowler Road Roller I suspect this looks ten times better than when it was built in 1925.
Austin 7 van built in 1928.
Austin A40 Pickup circa 1950.
Leyland Cub 1936.
A Seddon Atkinson from 1948 with a superb Gardner 120 engine.
One for the eco-loons. I suspect they are burning old tyres in the firebox or have got some crap German coal. At least the site is litter free unlike the shithole the lefties made of Glastonbury. Dirty buggers.
Some lovely 'old timers' there Adrian, with lots of love and care applied...[;o)
ReplyDeleteAlmost too perfect. I dread to think of the hours required to achieve results like this.
DeleteBrought back childhood memories of hearing the sound of a clanking steam road roller trundling down the road and rushing out of the house to watch it go past.
ReplyDeleteJohn, they did a tedious job entertainingly.
DeleteI love the little Austin 7 van. A girl could look quite dashing whizzing by in that. They all show the love and attention of their owners.
ReplyDeletePauline, they are rather beautiful but whizzing is being a little optimistic.
DeleteSome very fine machinery there, Adrian, and beautifully photographed too!
ReplyDeleteRichard, well worth the morning despite the rain.
