I have a great soft spot for the F7. I have fond memories of the 1979 one my Dad had. It seemed 50 years into the future compared to a Leyland Buffalo, and more importantly, didn't constantly break down.

Probably every truck, bar the blue ERF, Bedford TM & red Volvo F7
However, they’ll still be capable of putting in a day, if required
The Peterbilt is probably someones ‘toy’ though, as it would be over length with a trailer

Sunday 3rd
It was TruckFest Lincoln this weekend, & whilst travelling back from delivering the caravan, I travelled south on the A1
Heading northward, between Bramham CrossRoads (where A64 intersects) & Wetherby, several of ‘WH Malcolms’ fleet were in a loose convoy
3 of their Scania T-Cabs
2 in the green/yellow
1 in a glorious maroon/deep red
A Scania 143 (4x2 tractor unit) in their old colours
A low-loader with a couple more on, one was possibly a Foden

A few from the classic car run and display on Felixstowe seafront this afternoon
(I know the last one isn't a truck, but there's no coach/bus thread)
