Details: The lorry fleet got a bit more interesting in the late 1970s. After many years of total reliance on Ford products, a new policy of multi-sourcing saw vehicles coming from Bedford, Dodge and Leyland. The latter were the least numerous at first, with a handful of Terrier and Boxer lorries (both types fitted with similar 'G-cab' fronts). 2123L was the only Terrier dropside lorry, the rest being box trucks (although one of these was later rebuilt as a dropside), and it was found passing through Acton Central. Note the makers plate (BESCO) on the rear of the bodywork. Sister vehicle 2124L also had bodywork by this firm. |
