Trafalgar Truck Restorers Club Christmas Party 2016

The Trafalgar Truck Restorers Club held their Christmas Party today (December 4, 2016) at the Darnum Public Hall. Here are the historic vehicles which were displayed.


This is Rod Calleja's Mack Cruiseliner and McGrath trailer, and because we like the rig, it's shown below as well.




This is the McGrath trailer in more detail.


And we love an action shot - here's the Mack leaving


And here it is again with our 1973 F86 Volvo


And here's our Volvo


Ian and Susan James' 1977 Toyota Stout

Not sure which is the better photo of Steve Ellis' very original B-model Mack



Ted and Phyllis Bould's Kenworth


Vyn Harris' Kenworth


Eric Shingles' Land Rover


Jeff Shawcroft's International (I think)
