BigLorryBlog's coverage of the first Classic and Vintage Commercial Show at Gaydon last weekend continues with a sequence showing the 'Steel Boys' - steel hauliers and ex-steel hauliers who are keeping their classic iron alive.
The convoy kicks off with a Volvo F12, appropriately enough, and goes on through a Leyland Badger tractor, a Seddon Atkinson Strato and many more - there's even a Steyr tractor in there. And it concludes appropriately too, with a superb Volvo F88.
