Classic Trucks, Wagons

How the hell did he drive with the body raised?!
Surely he ouught to have caught a view (even if slight) in the mirrors, or wondered why other drivers were flashing lights, or using horns?

Drink/drug tests were negative too

Hopefully he'll have an opportunity to discuss why when he meets with the Traffic Commissioner.

Anyone else ask, why did the crane end up there?

Seen similar before, used to install the Very Narrow Aisle man up picking trucks, where they turn up with mast and cab separate from the body, and the battery removed, into doors where a crane can’t fit through, nor could the truck if it was assembled outside, then get the crane bit inside to build the thing up.

This sort of thing where the driver goes up in the cab, usually wire guided in aisle

With the iconic Commer 2-stroke engine?

My sensible head is wondering why they haven't put a single sheet down to protect that lovely wooden floor!

In case of any leaking hoses?

It is indeed. That guy attends a lot of shows and he has another 2 stroke set up on bed of the lorry which can run and with the side panels replaced with perspex, you can see how it operates.

Trust me if a hose let’s go it’ll look the Torrey Canyon went through the house!

Re; your FG photograph
When I was a kid, a neighbour drove one, as a 'bread van'
He worked for Associated Dairies (well before the 'ASDA' name took over everything)
In summer, he'd drive it with the doors open for a through breeze......... then end up stopping, getting out & chasing his paperwork down the road
