This film is like stepping back in time, Im watching all these old lorries that I remember as a kid, but here they are still working and earning their keep, this is not some truck Fest where they are all lined up shiny and bright, they are old lorries and yet still working somehow, its almost like I have gone back to my youth, amazing! it really is....
I was on holiday in Malta during this particular year.Its a shame I wasn't really clued up about vintage lorries then.I remember there being a lot of old buses like at 3:00 and other old vehicles about then.The paintscheme of the cement mixer at 8:13 looks familiar too,perhaps I saw one from that company too. Trouble is I was often petrified being on the roads in Malta.I was a passenger, as I was only 10 at the time.I didn't really like looking at the cars and traffic going by. It was nice to see the various Scammell Handymans and Trunker? in this video and the AEC lorries
in part 8-42 they have 2 tipper shunters overloaded which makes it even better when trying to move of and climbing the steep road out those 2 shunters thats the sound i love when the engines are working hard
that old km with the AEC 505 engine must have been quite tight fit although theres a advert on a classic car website advertising a 16 ton km tipper with an leyland 680 engine in it for sale quite a lot bigger than the standard 466/500 bedford engines
what was the lorry at 6.00 was it an old scania? great vid in my time I have driven most of these and with the old leylands you allways made sure you had a set of injector pipes because they shook that much that the pipes were allways breaking
Anyone notice the second blue lorry, which looked like a Bedford TK or KM (carrying concrete beams), made a noise like an AEC - especially the gear whine - as it boarded the boat? A conversion?
To all the maltese running these wonderful old lorries, you want to keep them going as long as you can. modern kit is just too complex and will no way last like these have
End of use in the UK , then to have a new lease of life in Malta brilliant ! No erf , foden leyland now , I wonder if we still export second hand right hand drive trucks to Malta today .
Overloaded much? Some trucks there just keep going and hardly breaks down when they do it’s an easy roadside repair to get it out on the road again. Quality and reliability of the trucks are great.
Importing Lorries so these mad *Arab* islanders can go crashed them up? Oh please! When watching the whole video of the various trucks driven. Its funny hearing all the *Arab* voices and *Arab* shouting and swearing! I am doing a project on *Arab* dialects and expletives and I find this video about *Arab* truck drivers fascinating!

In Malta it was very common to 'modify' our lorries but with todays trucks you wouldnt even dream to change something
am I so glad all the ergo cabs went to Malta hated those cabs

i also noticed the concrete slabs how unsecured they where, what where these people who loaded them thinking.
