Manufacturer description

For truck enthusiasts with a leaning towards farm and agricultural vehicles, our early Cattle Truck brings with it a whiff of yesteryear. It is liveried in the green and red colour scheme of Staffordshire based J Haydon & Sons of Biddulph, who were first established exactly 100 years ago in 1918. Here we see the Atkinson 8-wheel flatbed taking on the role of animal transporter, registered KWY 357. The cream lettering against the green captures the simple and minimal truck decoration of the day, almost faded in its authenticity!
