AtkiPete Lynch has sent me these two shots and the following message: "G'day Brian, here are a couple of English Lorries from days gone by, still on the job though. Now I am heading off interstate in a little Pommie Lorry myself in the morning and could well be missing for a while. Anyhow I will take the camera and hopefully get some good photos for you, including the tow truck that comes to rescue me! Cheers, Pete." A Pommie lorry breaking down...what are you saying Pete? And for a pie name these two, with model and year--and what's under the hood too.
And for an altogether more modern waggon click through here for a Kiwi Kenworth that's really very Kool...
Yes a Kenworth K104(?) waggon and drag from Rodders and you can check out his website www.xtrucking.com. Smart, Rod..smart.

How about Clydesdale for the first and Boxer for the second?

Right you are on the Boxer Chris, but the first one is not a Clydesdale. (Not according to that badge above the LH headlight) I think this unit was once a prime mover for Kraft foods.

Hi Pete
Would the top one be a Mastiff; I think that was what they called the biggest model of the small (ex BMC) Leylands.

Mastiff is correct Vic, dont know about the engines, I think they were using Perkins engines by this stage.
