Jim Martin Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm trying to find a timeline of the maximum permitted weight and length of heavy goods vehicles in the UK between the mid-1950s and 2000. Is there some sort of HGV-based equivalent of RMWeb where I might find help? Thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 There are a few truck/hgv based forums about. 3 are Professional drivers Association www.pda-uk.org Truckersworld www.truckersworld.co.uk/ Truckersforums www.truckersforum.net Alternatively you could try contacting the Road Haulage Association www.rha.uk.net/ HTH Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted June 25, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25, 2011 This site is very useful as well http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk It is also useful for things like road signs. Most of the classic truck magazines have 'vintage' photographs in most issues that really give a 'feel' of the period. Another site is the one run by 'Truck Model World' magazine.

Jim Martin Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look them up and see how I get on. I freely admit that I didn't even know there was a Road Vehicles Group. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
