British Lorries of the 1950s

This book is a highly visual study of British lorries built during the 1950s and features over 120 colour and black-and-white images, many of them contemporary. The photographic content includes not only vehicles in use at the time but also original publicity material and images from the preservation scene, showing historic vehicles still at work today.

All the familiar and lesser-known marques are represented, and the comprehensive text explores Britain’s commercial vehicle and road haulage industries during a period of significant change. The book highlights the engineering ingenuity, styling, and industrial heritage that made these lorries icons of their era and household names across the country.
