Trafalgar Truck Restorers Club Christmas Party 2017

The Trafalgar Truck Restorers Club held their Christmas Party today (December 3, 2017) at the Darnum Public Hall. Here are the historic vehicles which were displayed. It was a bit of an overcast day, after two days of heavy rain, so the weather kept a few trucks away (including ours - the Volvos don't like getting wet)


Only European truck there - Kevin Siddle's 1983 V1425 Mercedes Benz 


Only Asian historic commercial vehicle - Ian James' 1966 Totoya Stout


Don Barrett's 1971 International C1800


Jarrod Blair's International ACCO 


John Burley's 1954 International R180. This used to be owned by our club member, the late Graeme Latter.
