I worked for Royal Mail in the leyland days (terrier, mastiff, chieftain) and one day a ford cargo turned up this was before Iveco got their hands on it and we were absolutely blown away by how modern and high quality it was and it drove like a dream everybody wanted it! Royal Mail used to buy the odd truck from different manufacturers so it would keep leyland on its toes to give good discounts!😊

Obviously you didn't have any real lorry drivers employed there because Cargo's were absolutely shit even when they were new. Absolute junk. Youd think the doors were falling off anytime you were on a rough road. The only thing they had going for them was the L10 Cummins engine and they were cheep, and rightly so. Scrap.

Kay’s or Great Universal Stores used to run Ford Cargos on their trunk services. Lightly laden with single axle trailers and no speed limiters the night trunk lads used to cover the miles and get well paid. Worcester - Wembley - Manchester - Worcester was a regular run for them. An old mate, the late Joke Hopkins did this trip often. One of then managed to knock over a fallow deer one night. He got in on the catwalk and and slipped by the security in the Bromyard Rd site Worcester. He dumped it in his pickup truck and off to his freezer. Happy miles 😂

There used to be a pub on the Slough Trading Estate called The New Peerless. Probably built on the old site of the factory.

If I had to pick three, I'd go for the Volvo P1800S (6:46), The Cobra kit car (0:28) and the Austin A35 Van (6:09). Maybe the Beach Buggy .... (also 6:09).
