Re: Classic Trucks with Plant
Brilliant photos , love old working pics like these, with a bonus of a Hymac 370 and a Triumph TR6P police bike . A friend ran as second man on wide loads into London in 70s and was quite surprised when picking up their Met Police motorcycle escort that the two riders were given brown envelopes at ...
