Weston is a 2 day-er, we went there yesterday (Monday) with the Devon. Some interesting stuff on show, mainly cars but a few commercials in evidence too, as shown below. My favourite vehicle was the little 1933/1934 Peugeot 301 pickup, and the Model AA Ford alongside is also a regular favourite - both live not far from me. Other interesting exhibits for me included E83W van reg. no. VPD 22, a matching pair of A35 Pickups, and the Morris Six Police car.
cheers, RJ

Some interesting vehicles there then.
What make/model of car is the grey saloon pictured 7th from the bottom just above the Mk1 Cortina? That I like!  |

Great photos there, Rick, what was that Leyland Truck, it looked a bit like an Albion Claymore. That Harper Brothers Guy Arab LUF is one of my favourites, it appears at a lot of the local shows.

Hi
| Rick wrote: | Hi alfanut! the Leyland was 1 of 2 prototypes built - hmm let me find the info sheet I photographed ... <rummage>
Circa 1953, forward control, underfloor engine, believed the only
survivor of 2 made. Originally supplied to Clayton Dewandre for testing
of brake components etc and used with a recovery body.
Unfortunately no specific mention of why it was designed this way.

Strikes me it was designed to discourage drivers from getting to close to the lorry in front, lots of protection for the driver, NOT.  |
