Two 'classics' for the price of one. A Maltese Roadtrain with a Ford D-Series on the back! And naturally if Biglorryblog has pictures of Golden Oldies in Malta they could have only come from one person---yes Ashley 'Mr Malteezer' Lovering. I don't know where (or indeed how) he finds them...but the shots just keep coming for which BLB is eternally grateful!
Now this one caught my eye as it's a lightweight Constructor which eventually ended up being sold under the Leyland Daf banner with (if I recall correctly) Daf's nine-litre engine under the hood. I certainly roadtested one with Richard Kingston and it did rather well on fuel. Of course this could be a 'ringer' in as far as it might be a Constructor six-wheeler that was stretched in the UK into an 8x4 with an extra steer axle added on...but who can tell?

Ahh...that Bedford TK moment...dig the fancy rear wheel trims too. Off a Bedford coach perhaps?
And full circle back to the Ford D-Series. A nice symmetry don't you think? And my thanks again to Ashley L for the great pictures.
