Random Milk Float Selection: 2

Express Q616 GVC is seen in South Kensington. It appears to be a rebuilt/rebodied Morrison/M&M.

Smiths float NTV 550M is seen operating for Express Dairies in Long Eaton, near Nottingham. Photo by Dave Root.

MKV 990V is an early example of an M&M float, before that company took over Morrison Electricars. The basic design has not changed much although the headlamp recesses were dispensed with. Photo by Paul Brady.

Wales and Edwards are best known for their three wheeled range but also built four wheelers. Wessex Dairies' A345 RDV is a Wales and Edwards 4/40 - the designation refers to 4 wheels, 40cwt. It was formerly an Express Dairies vehicle, and is pictured at the depot in Bideford, Devon. Photo by Dave Fane.

Dairy Crest's OGS 377V, seen in Cambridge on 8th June 2002, appears to be a rebodied W&E 4/40. Photo by Richard Haughey.

This Harbilt float, ENR 338L, operated for Cornish's Dairy of Bodmin for 14 years. Thanks to Nick Sampson for the photograph.

NUT 55F of Sheaf's Dairies, Luton, is another Harbilt float. The photo was taken in the depot around the time when Sheaf's closed down. I have lost the credit for this photo; please claim it if it's yours!

This Robert Wiseman Dairies Smiths Cabac is preserved at the Glasgow Transport Museum. I suspect the registration number may be fictitious.
