Manton European Freezer Freight Part 7

Just a quick one, I thought it was about time we got to part 7. Can you guess who sent me yet another great photo from deep in his trucking archives?? Yes you probably guessed right, Neil Jarrold from http://www.euro-wheels.com/ snapped this one on it’s way to or from the continent. Were you the driver of this Manton’s Scania? Did this little 3 series ever make it down the golden egg road to Moscow?? Has anyone got part 8 to the longest running thread on the blog? Email me any thing more you have on Manton’s, ben@truckblog.co.uk and it could be appearing here. A certain Dave Manton has contributed to these threads before, but not recently, so perhaps you’ll beat him to Part 8?!

Manton European Freezer Freight Part 6

This is turning into the Manton / Euro-Wheels website! Neil Jarrold knows we have quite a long standing Manton’s run on the blog, so know when he has unearthed another pile of photo’s and he come’s across another Manton’s truck, he feels obliged to send it to the blog. I think it’s fair to say this is a rare sight. As yet I don’t think anyone has said anything about Manton’s subbies, so please please dust off your memory bank’s and fill the rest of us in on the details. This very clean Scania 112, is a 6×2 tag axle, belonging to Reiblein International of Wetherby. Now i’m not the oracle of Yorkshire hauliers, but I don’t think I have heard of Reiblein before. Just for info C reg vehicle’s were from 1985. Some of you will know what’s what, so get email me at; ben@truckblog.co.uk or leave your comments below. I look forward to penning Part 7 shortly!!

Manton European Freezer Freight Part 5

I didn’t think part 5 would be quite so quick in turning up!! After typing out the quick Part 4 the other evening, I opened my emails the following morning, who had emailed me?? Yep your right, the one and only Dave Manton. I think he was just taking a quick break from being in his loft for the last few weeks looking for photo’s!! This on the road photo was a regular stop on the route to Moscow. This is dieseling your truck up Belarus style.

For a point can you tell me what type of Eastern European truck the fuel bowser is? I have no idea what so ever! Leave a comment or email me; ben@truckblog.co.uk and hopefully by the time you’ve worked out what it is, my friend and yours DM will have the next photo.

Manton European Freezer Freight Part 4

Very quickly, the king of truck photo’s Neil Jarrold has sent me another little gem that he has found in his seemingly endless collection of truck photo’s. This time one of Manton’s Scania 142's, E143 SWU. It seems like another well kept Scania from the Manton Fleet. Only personalised by a small Michelin Man on the drivers mirror arm. Very Tidy!! Where was he off to? Were you the driver? Any idea’s where the truck ended up?? Tell me more by emailing ben@truckblog.co.uk or leaving a comment. See if you can make Manton’s Part 5!! Come on Dave Manton!

Visit the photo emporeum that is http://www.euro-wheels.com/ and see all that Neil has to offer.
