Here's a military Seddon in good company with an 8 wheeler LDV and the new MAN

They were to be replaced by Future Light Equipment Transporter (FLET). This is now on hold so the Sed Atk will soldier on a little longer.

Is this a Strato ?

Try this for size.............. the dash is almost identical to the Daf 85's of the nineties.

 

Another truck on my shopping list. (Sorry I'm a no money dreamer :-( )

 

 

 

Enjoy............. apparently the seller wanted six hundred squids for it.........

I could nearly afford that....:-D

James,

 

The Bedford TK is also a left hooker, note the British flag emblem, they are most likely serving in BAOR.

This one's a 400 model, and it's towing a trailer that would have originally been coupled to a 20 ton Scammell Crusader unit.

Well, let's face it, trailers are known to be very promiscuous. The one in the 'photo below was originally going out with an AEC Mandator but can be seen here, in broad daylight, enjoying an intimate relationship with a Seddon Atkinson 401.:shocked:

Its obvious there's "trailor-sharing" going on check out the number plates on tractor and trailor? i dont think theres strictly a trailor for a specific tractor however i may be wrong!! any more pics of seddons guys?

Another random question i remember years ago in trucking international or something like that they did a article on british logistics in kosovo(if i remember correctly!) they were with a foden of the R.C.T, now that had a mount in the cab for a SA80. My question is did earler models of vehicle have mounts for say a S.L.R or more to the point a STERLING (think thats more appropriate!) Help!!!

The armed forces trailers have their own numbers and the tractor number is never displayed on them.

Ah right! thanks for sorting that one richard! cleared one thing up for me!!
