The Trader looks good but the T45 Constructor got me interested. I drove an 8 wheeler with Big Bite equipment fitted in the early nineties. I think it had a Rolls Royce engine fitted and the Spicer 10 speed splitter box. It wasn’t a luxury truck but did the job admirably and the Spicer box was a joy to use. Oh happy days 😁

I really like those Leylands. I'd have one imported if I had the money. Beautiful trucks! Very nice work on the restorations! The Trader doesn't need much to make it show worthy, it already looks like it's in great condition. Very nice! Whoever buys it will get a great truck!! 👍👍 I hope we never forget our industrial and automotive past, nowadays we have computers and GPS and everything. But it's great to be able to preserve history....and it should be preserved for future generations to see and learn about. 🔧😎 Thanks for sharing!!

Bloody Thames Traders. They were everywhere here too, they must have been cheap. About the first truck I drove was a Thames Trader carting wheat in the early 70s. Everyone who has carted wheat here at harvest time in Australia knows what I am talking about. Hot and no fun in something like that with 8 or 9 tons of wheat on. I kid you not. What a handful. The one I drove didn’t have the engine cover and it must have been at least 50degrees C in there. I was only about 18, no experience, and it is a wonder I didn’t tip it over. I can’t understand how any one would have one as a semi, they didn’t have enough power to pull a greasy stick out of a pigs bum. We were all in the same boat, overloaded to buggery, no power and driving shitboxes. Most of the ones here were petrol, I have only seen one diesel. They wouldn’t have had any more power either. I know where there is one abandoned in a paddock. I have no desire to restore it.

I fully agree that the job was harder years ago long before i passed my test in 1993, so ive never even touched a Trader let alone driven one but the oldest truck I've driven (admittedly i was only about 18, just going round our yard) was a 1966 (D plate) Ford D series wrecker we had. Best memory of mine was driving back to our yard a 3 year old Volvo F10 with a tautliner trailer, about 2 weeks after i passed my test. Told this to one of the newbies we've got and he admitted he didn't like manual trucks as they're too hard to drive!!! And just like the rest of them nowadays they cant possibly handle an automatic truck without every single driver aid turned on!! I sieze up driving an auto, please come back manuals. Its fair to say i definitely wouldn't have wanted to do the job many years before I started, as much as the newbies wouldn't want to do what we did years ago.

A few weeks ago I went to the FWD museum in Clintonville WI. There are a lot of interesting trucks in the museum. The on that caught my eye was a prototype with a v12 Deutz air cooled engine. The engine model was stated as a 415 at 230hp and 900 lb-ft of torque. I never knew about the engines before a 413 wish there was more information on the Internet about them.

hi there, great video, i love your dog, great to see that 8x4 tipper, they were a replacement for the Scammell routeman, and during the 80's Scammell Motors made them, they had the motor panels cab,very few had Leyland on the front panel, they were a successful vehicle.we had thames traders at london transport, the heaters were dreadful in the winter, a cheap and cheerful motor like the Bedford truck both reliable

Mucker, a question if you will. Most of my generation, who were at school in the sixties, should recognise the Thames Trader, because it was the pigswill lorry that went round the schools picking up the swill bins, in my area at least. My question is, I remember these as having a pronounced rise towards the tailgate, I assume they were oversprung and meant to settle level when loaded. This was true for the one that we used for scaffold fittings years later too! They always looked odd going down the road. But, why can't I find a single photo anywhere of one with the bed canted up like that ? maybe it was only the two tonners ?

Great video Mucker lovely Thames Trader too. Amazing restoration job on that 8 wheeler Constructor also. I’m just a steering wheel attendant these days but have been driving since 1982 when auto boxes in lorries were a rarity. I used to drive a Roadtrain for Tankfreight on the Texaco contract in the late 80’s, early 90’s. Ours had both gearboxes in, some had the Eaton twin splitter which I preferred and one or two had the Spicer 10speed. Love the Guy Big j I spotted, one of the 1st lorries I drove was a BigJ. I couldn’t help finding the video, see the link below. It’s from the TV series “Not The Nine o’clock News” a great video it is too. 😂😂 I hope you all take time to watch it. kzitem.info/news/bejne/2G-i03emgqyZeaQsi=qcGlFrrhYnquXmoN
