Car and truck makes that you don’t see any more…

The Sentinal steam wagons certainly matched the Foden steam trucks .
When sentinal changed to diesel with there underslung engines way past the front axle it limited them to 6 and 4 wheelers .
The engine was in the way for 8 wheelers second steer and the drive axle on a tractor unit .

 

Sorry Rowe Hillmaster was from Dobwalls Cornwall not Liskeard

 

Not any more, Vauxhall were sold to PSA(Peugeot-Citroen group) a few years ago, then PSA became Stellantis and they aquired Opel from GM.

I started working with Vauxhall in 1985. Probably at their height. It was sad to see them steadily go down hill from the late 90’s. They lost a billion pounds per year for ten years
PSA basically put Vauxhall badges on there products now but started making a profit within the first year.

The Ford Transcontinental and the Scammell Crusader were my favourite lorries growing up. Loved the Volvo F88 too.

Fiat X19
Cortina XL
Or is this cheating on the X front?
