Hello from Oxford England.

Hi everybody, I would say G'Day but its evening over there.
Thanks for the great welcome.
Bill Basketts Jupiter is on my 'world maggies' page.
I can forgive Swishy for his Kenworth mania. I know how he feels.
There is no treatment for 'the mania' , we just live with it.
I hope I can offer something interesting to others.
I will sort out a few links and keep on looking in.
Cheers.

Ok Dave,

What the hell is a GREY GHOST ?

PS: Will email ya later - have heard there were Denning coaches over in New Zealand which had Deutz aircooled diesels in them! Waiting to hear more!

Sorry Roland i thought you poms new your trucks they are what made your trucking industry what it's today and thats what started of most transport companies here in Aussie so what do you think it is ???????????.Dave

Dave , I can only guess at a Bedford, as apparently they never die ?

good on yer mate my is a 1934 ws30 cwt Bedford tray and well known here in Aussie .
You should come out for our truck show held on 22nd of Nov in Victoria it's biggest in Aussie of old trucks. Dave

Welcome Roland.

I know one of our truck members use to have a air cooled Deutz. I think he has now sold it however. When I get a chance will check and see if I have a photo of it for you.

That truck ended up in Sydney. I can't think of the ne owner's name and it must be over 5 years since I have seen him but he was involved with HCVC and Tempe Bus Museum and lived in the Sydney Suburbs. It didn't look anything like the one above and was nickname the 'ugly duckling' for good reason

Bruce , Mick B owns one and it's in Thomastown in a shed waiting to be restored. Dave

Hi Dave, I am glad I got that one right !
Back in my truck sales days I had a lot of contact with Bedford as I had a dealer 1/2 mile up the road from the Ford dealer I worked for.
I dealt in all sizes and apart from TK, TL and TM I also had experience with the panel vans, HA, HB , CF and even one CA ! I dont know if these codes mean anything to you, but they were all regularly purchased by me in PX for new Fords.

Dave, Thanks for the date of the show. Its a long way to come for a show ! I will have to think about it
