Ring any bells? The brand new Seddon 32:four:220 with Rolls Eagle, David Brown six=speed box, plated for 32-tons but designed ready for 38! So what was the year this 'Friendly Giant' first appeared at the Scottish Motor Show (now there's a giveaway...) Now click through for more

'I work for a good firm and drive a good vehicle..." the words of driver Tony Hardman of Kaye Goodfellow & Co. Same year...so what was it. Maybe Bryan Lomas can have a punt at this one?  (for a pie naturally)

I reckon about '73 or '74 but no doubt Rich Stanier will put us right!

Peter Lynch

Well I will take a guess at 1968.

MT Chris Gardner

Hmmm, and with that grille on the Seddon as well...

It's the Scottish Show, so that rules out 1968 as the Kelvin Hall event was on the 'odd' years, and Earls Court on the evens. 1967, maybe??

And please do put us out of our misery!

Peter Lynch

Clueless but still desperate for a pie, I will go for 1969 as it doesn't have a "Seddon Atkinson" badge

Chris (and anyone else who said 1967) gets the Pie. yes it's the Kelvin Hall show and the ad came from CM November 3rd 1967.
