Thank you for that and as a school kid growing up in the 50s I was very familar with lots of those old lorries. My uncle had a farm near Wrexham so I'd be put on a train in London with a pack of sandwiches and a bottle of pop, which I consumed very quickly to save carrying them when I explored the train. That was pulled by a steam engine, uncle would meet me a drive me to the farm in an Austin pick up, he used Shire horses to till the land and the boys looked after them all great fun for a Londoner. On another visit there was a brand new Ferguson tractor in grey, I was shown how to steer and stop up and down the field while a gang of ladies picked and loaded strawberries. I left school 1960 and worked with dad on large construction projects, learn't to drive a Thwaites rear steer dumper. At 17 passed my test and was promoted to stores driver collecting everything needed to repair 5 large sewer tubes in West Ham London. I drove a 15 cwt. Thames van and a Thames Trader 3 tonner flat bed. The most important job was to pick up coke from the gas works, as this was the terrible winter of 62/63. Moved onto build the Victoria Line tube tunnels, now driving a Morris 5 tonner flatbed, Matbro loading shovel and crawler cranes. Went onto operate Tunnel Boring Machines and earn lots of money, so ordered a new Mini, before it arrived the Cooper came out, so changed the order to the Mini Cooper but there was a problem the dealer also delivered the Mini, this I sold for more money than I paid as the purchaser did not have to wait for delivery. I copped onto this and kept Mini Cooper S on constant order. Later I drove an ERF which was between the two models you showed in your video, it had a Gardener 5 cylinder engine, crash gearbox and no power steering or brakes, I transport construction site huts and equipment from the companies yard in S>W< London to near Chepstow Gwent. The M4 was only partly built but when on it I engaged cruise control, that was a stick jammed under the dash holding the throttle flat out at 40 mph. Wow to release it I gave it a kick. That ERF was part exchanged through Watts of Gloucester for a Leyland. The ERF has been fully refurbished in Chas Brand & Sons livery and looked fantastic in a photo, I would just love to meet that person and pass on stories. PS: Now 79 yo. still driving but now in crazy Vietnam.
Great start to this video, with yo driving out, I bet you can't wait to do that for real. Nice review and great to be doing the work with your Dad. Well done. Bob
Great video mate. I love seeing the lorries from the 60’s and 70’s. Reminds me of school holidays out in my uncles Seddon tipper. Thanks for posting and subscribed! 👍
Great Video young man the ERF`s were not universally liked because of there ZF twin splitter gear box which took some effort to master ie, engaging initial gear by clutch then through the gears using only the revs of the engine for a smooth gear change ( no clutch required ).
Absolutely brilliant video. Well done matey. I was in our Capital Lifting Blue ERF B Series. Look forward to the next one matey. Earned a subscriber there
Nice work! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. BTW, at 15:34, the young lady riding shotgun in the Chummy...her expression and riveted gaze ahead is saying "I know you're looking at me but I will NOT look at you! Good-BYE!" 😊
"What is THIS??" [16m10s]...that was a Can-Am Spyder, probably 2015 or '16. A bit odd, as you say, but quite popular in Canada and the States. Myself, I thought the right hand drive Mustang was a bit unusual...😊 I like the old sign writing too, from back when it was more of an art form. Don't see that type of work so much these days. Nice presentation and thanks for sharing.
Hi there nice video of the older trucks I was the same as you I was driving around on my dads land I was about 8/9 year's my dad had a few vans mobile shops in the 60s across the road was a coal merchant he had tippers and flat beds when I past my test at 17 I worked for the coal man driving one of those tk bedford and when I was old enough I got my hgv I was driving for a lot of companies and agency work and it was not easy to get a permanent job at the time there was a lot of cowboys out there I was in the northeast at the time I moved to worksop and I got a job with a local company and I have worked for them over 30 years but most of them lorry's I have drove some are better than uthers but the modern lorry are really nice to drive I hope you get the chance to drive them one day. If you like the old trucks there is a old tv series on youtube truckers I think it is about 1985 .
I rescued a TK driver once he was parked on a hill, wavy his arm like mad. So stopped and walked back, he'd been there for ages with his foot on the brake. The rear diff had broken or half shaft and so the prop hand brake would not work. Found a concrete block and jammed it behind the rear wheels, got some extra timber off my truck. He was very grateful as his leg was going to sleep
@@CarTractionvids Partly true, if it’s on your own land yes if it’s on land where public congregates definite no not only would you need a driving license you would need to be insured for public liability look into it I can tell you this because I am an ex police officer.
I used to park up several vans in the chippie shop shed for overnight security. Bedford crvs column change, Morris miners floor change 6" apart to get em all in. My hand brake turns would earn me a clip around the ear, but well worth it.

I didn’t know children were allowed to drive cars????
On a private driveway, anyone can drive a car. You can clearly see it's dad at the wheel when we go on the road. Thanks for watching.

What a shame, completely messed up camera movement, too close & too fast. If you had driven on to the street, I would have called the police.
Thanks for watching
Children should be seen ,but Not Heard,.......!!
Thanks for watching John
