Saturday 17th March, some of us re-assembled at the Three Counties Show Ground for a one day Vintage and Classic Commercial Show.
We arrived on the Friday afternoon to set up and meet Maurice Allely's newly restored 'Sturdy' diesel Thornycroft from 1950. photo Matt Bisp
It was vehicles like this that Maurice Allely first set up Allelys Haulage, cattle and agricultural transport mainly in those days. photo Matt Bisp
Since those early days, the family has grown up and developed the business to today's heavy haulage market. See below.
A fine example of a Leyland Steer, 1959.
Circa 1950's Guy. A lovely example indeed.
Vic Haines from Evesham showing off his vintage and classic stock.
These have always been one of my favourites. A AEC Matator. Many are still employed in the timber business.
A little uncertain about this Morris Commercial. Probably 1949 and very similar to that used by the Post Office Telephone engineers vehicle.
This is a well restored example of an Albion Chieftain, 1955
Now these I do like. Ex US Army 2nd World War stock. A Ward le France unit now used as a wrecker.
During set up I spotted these early Scammel units. Used largely for railway purposes and local deliveries from stations.
