Old good days... Up the 70s.....bo mobiles, no GPS, no satellites just hard working courageous drivers... Leyland cabs slightly look like Scania 141-111
I don’t know where you were getting your information but Sat navigation did not become available for the trucking industry until the end of the 1990s, as for cellphones they started appearing in trucks in the mid 1990s internationally…Scandinavia had a system from about 1984 but only worked in those countries…I went to Syria in 1975 and it was not something I wanted to repeat, I was lucky only one day getting into Turkey and from then onto Damascus with telecom equipment , a beautiful city now destroyed by Putler as he’s done in Ukraine…Driving to the Middle East was fine if you were prepared to endure hardship and living and sleeping in your clothes, showering was a luxury once you left Yugoslavia …
Een film om stil van te worden, iedere keer moet ik er weer naar kijken . De leylands maken een onuitwisbare indruk. Prachtige beelden 0novertroffen.zullen de chauffeurs van toen 21:09
Yes on my Volvo f 89 we even had erbespacher overnight heaters but the British trucks where sadly lacking in that respect.many a time we would share our second bunk with a Brit driver in a Brit truck if we where in convoy
Them marathons could give most lorrys a good old fight advanced at the time a little more simple thort n they could ov been the best but typical british management ov the time never bothered
Well, the Marathon, as shown in the video, was the top of the range. It came with a Leyland or Rolls-Royce engine and a range change 10 speed gearbox with little to no synchromesh! Insulation was poor so a noisy but spacious cab. A Volvo F12 was a better option.
@@danbreen6946 My dad had a mandater I'm nearly sure. It roared and shook like a beast. All that was over the engine was a metal covering. You had to rock it back and forth in tight corners to turn the steering. It was a tractor unit he used as a lowloader. This was the mid-1970s.
prachtig tijdsbeeld uit vervlogen tijden. Wat n mooie herinnering moet dit zijn voor degenen die dit hebben ondernomen
My first run to Athens in the early 80's was in a Leyland Marathon with a TL12. Great old truck.
fred grove just wondering how long did that take
Michael West Best part of 5 weeks, when I tipped out in Athens I had to wait around for a reload.
Just memories now, I'm 74 , been off the road a long time now. I had 26 years of doing international, and I loved it.
@@fredgrove4220 top man Fred. I was one of the crazy Irish with the fridges myself. Be nice to be back in the 70s.
چقدر قشنگ این مستند .👌👌👏👏
I remember sitting in a Middle East spec Marathon for sale many years ago in the UK. Fascinating what these guys achieved.
Nice vidéo My father bought one Marathon II with TL 12 engine and 9 speed Fuller in U.

Sadly the car side drained all the money, leaving very little for the Truck division.

I never knew Leyland did this work. Always thought they were just bad tractor units

@@MrWillibaldvongluck1 but the f12 couldn't live with the marathon on a hill!
I drove my first truck that year and it was a Leyland Mandater V8 not Unlike the Marathon but smaller cab size but what a yoke
