Heritage Commercials

Heritage Commercials magazine is Britain’s brightest full colour magazine for classic and vintage commercial vehicle enthusiasts. It celebrates the days when roads were still quiet and lorry driving was fun as well as hard work. But Heritage Commercials is not just about old drivers – its strong historical content looks at the various vehicle manufacturers, while it keeps up to date with the current preservation scene with stories of beautifully restored vehicles of a bygone age, and their owners, being featured. The magazine also regularly features light commercials – vans to you and me – buses and coaches, fire engines and military vehicles, as well as keeping in touch with the ever growing number of superb long distance road runs and events held throughout the year. This is living history on the move!

A cracking edition

A Singer Nine Van of 1934 Supreme survivor • This attractive little van is owned by James and Louise Tempest of Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire. A remarkable survivor; not only one of just six built, having worked through the blitz, it could have easily been a mangled mess of twisted metal, and later narrowly avoided being incinerated to just a pile of smoldering ash in a garage fire.

Too good two-stroke • Launched in 1952, the eight-ton load capacity FE4/8 is a lesser known Foden. Powered by Foden’s own two-stroke, four-cylinder FD4 diesel, the FE4/8 had a justifiable claim to being the first British truck cab with curved glass windscreen panels. The cab was unquestionably a masterpiece of design. Sadly, labour-intensive construction put a price on its head, which helps account for the type’s short four-year production life.

The Leyland FK7 – Part 1 • In 1989, Matchbox ® toys brought out a new limited-edition model in its ‘Models of Yesteryear’ special edition range. Beautifully boxed and with great artwork at a scale of 1/43, model number YS-9, a 1936 Leyland Cub Pump Escape made a fine model for the collector, albeit with a little too many plastic parts, especially in the ladder assembly as Mike Blenkinsop recall.
