Re: pictures of green autocar now belonging to Henries.

Here are some pictures of her in the original state in Clark's yard, Alexandria. It also was powered by a Cummins engine 5x4 transmission and SQDD diffs originally which were removed by Billy Beck. The suspension was modified from six rod to Henrikson and repowered by Clarks with a Caterpillar. Later it had a road boss cab fitted.

There was an Autocar that came in to work(Patlin transport)early one mornin last year about a 70s ish model with a cummins very average condition I had the honnor of drivin it off the float and I snuck it out of the yard and did a few laps around the block snapin up an down the gears befor getin reamed by the boss for muckin around, It ended up in a little yard on freight drive just off cooper St, where it still is as far as I know I had a feeling that the owner was a member of HCVC? I stuck a HCVC display day poster in his fence befor I left to go to Antarctic Last year.

Hi Rob

Looking at the photo of the one alongside the Kenworth (next to the Theiss watercart), I can't help thinking that it's the one owned by Glenn Reedman which is ex Jones Bros Transport. I'm drawing a long bow but his has round guards and the front bumper is painted up the same......................

Do you know the truck?

Some play hard to get
