      I worked in the warehouse for 44years and can remember loading the trains every day with the forklift. Actually driven reachtruck 352 in the film. Great days and so sad when it was demolished in 2023. Spent my whole working life there.

    Still got my 1974 Tk tipper, Australian assembled, with 250 ci Mexican Chev 6cyl, this was the motor supplied from the General Motors Holden's factory at Dandenong. Great little truck. Terrific film.

      I wish it was a 292, the smaller models only got the 250 in the early 1970s, as it was an upgrade on the 214 Bedford motor. My family had a bigger later model with a 292 Chev. It was more common to see this size motor.

    I learned to drive in J and S types and they were a pleasure to drive.

    What a cool video. And, sadly, what a world we live in now compared to this.

      Yeah... 40 years of a dictatorial, ruinous, corrupt and costly EU. Now we're out and free to trade on our own terms. Let's look forward and try to reignite design, innovation and fair competition without negative remoaners!

      They had to have something going for them. They were still a common sight on the road well into the 1990s long after other British makes disappeared.
