The Writing's on the Truck 210 unpublished photos with captions of the vehicles, many of which will be remembered by transport fans UK-wide. Telling the story of the development of John's business, the methods he uses to create effects and numerous anecdotes from his working life. It will be of interest to anyone involved with road haulage and the preservation of classic trucks.
With signage on ERFs, Leyland's, Guys, Foden's, Atkinsons, Albions and AECs that he is responsible for the distinctive livery of a number of traditional family run haulage companies. His excellent skills in spray painting and restorer of trucks are well known worldwide.
Sadly, many of the once familiar and iconic companies have disappeared over the years and today computer-generated vinyl lettering has almost completely taken over the art and few modern fleets are sign written.
A great publication with brilliant photography and history of trucks in England
