Two Surviving Freightlifters.
Aled Rees from Bristol posted this photo of a Model 82
Freightlifter on Facebook saying:- “My landlord here has
two!” 827 OAE appears on DVLA records. It was built 1962 - so it is one
of the last Model 82 Freightlifters and was last taxed until the end of June
1999. Colour - Blue! Aled informed me that he was told that this one was new to
BAE or one of the other companies at Filton airfield so blue would be right
colour for that. Another long lasting SD product.
Aled also posted a list of his
collection of SD vehicles which reads:- “3 P types, 1 N type, 3 T types and a
Freighter. Other dustcarts are about 20." Hopefully one day there will be
a Refuse Collection Vehicle Museum in the West Country.
A MYSTERY PHOTO.
This skip lorry appears to be based on an SD PT chassis. The Registration Number denotes Birmingham 1981/82. It is noticeable that the cab has a low roof as used on fire appliances and not the high roof used on refuse collection vehicles. Roy Rudge posted this photo on Facebook. OOC 674 X is shown on the DVLA Database as a 1982 Leyland last taxed in1989.
The Largest Pakamatics Ever?
