Saw this the other day I think its near the colne valley railway Its been there for a while now but never had the chance to slow down and take a pic..

That's been around for yonks. Use to drive around and stuff but I don't think its moved from that place in over 5 years. They repainted it when it was last round Braintree for Christmas. Hence the wreath under the name.
Stands outside an disused petrol station/truck stop. When I was a kid we use to pass there on our way to Norfolk and we'd stop in there for some grub (I think, Long time ago see).

Looks like a big body, but the overhang is quite long. I would like to see the gap between the petrol tank and the axle to be sure if it's a Ford or Chassis services chassis.

[djswampy]

Well its near Sudbury in Suffolk Fred. You're welcome to go and have a look. The company is based in Braintree. Just a trip up the M11/A120 for ya.

next time i go that way i will stop this time and take a good close up pic or 3...There is also a old bus nearby thats used as a cafe that has been there for nearly as long as the tranny

[djswampy]

That old bus is on the road between halstead and earls colne. I pass it every day for work because we're based in colchester. Again, its been there for as long as I can remember. There are a few old vehicles round in odd places.

the transit pictured is on the road between haverhill and sible hedingham, as ive driven past it more than a few times being a local. always looks pretty smart and it DOES move occasionally tho not often. dont know where to tho......
