Seen at Truckfest in May '86 (that's if 'C' reg is 1985/86?), I would guess that this Constuctor was the most powerful available then?
Scammell Constructor 6x4 recovery truck in the livery of Saunders Garage, Stotfold.
Registered in January 1988 with no previous keepers since.
Still fitted with its original alloy aggregate body, this Leyland Constructor originally operated out of the Southampton depot of Hall & Co and has subsequently been used by a farmer for grain transport.
I enjoyed a few hours down at the habour this evening , I met up with a few fellow photographers who had come down to capture the activity of vessels either arriving or leaving for the North Sea.

Launched in February 2008 from the Ulstein Verft shipyards in Norway, the Island Constructor is the latest Ulstein X-Bow ship to join the fleet of Island Offshore Management AS. The ULSTEIN SX121-class ship was designed by Ulstein Design AS and constructed by Ulstein Verft.
The ship will be used in the oil industry for light well intervention operations.
The Island Constructor is the fourth Ulstein X-Bow vessel to be completed and the first in the Ulstein S-series (specialised vessels). The first ship was launched in 2006.
The vessel will be fitted with a large tower in order to carry out state-of-the-art well intervention offshore.
Ship construction began in 2006 and required Nkr600m. Ulstein Design will deliver 20 Ulstein X-Bow vessel designs to seven ship owners between 2008 and 2010. Four Ulstein ships are currently being constructed in China.
TECHNICAL
The vessel is 120.2m long, with a PP length between 112.3. It has a moulded breadth of 25.0m and a design draught of 7.0m. The depth to main deck is 10.0m. The maximum draught is 7.9m and the ship will be able to make a speed of 15kt. The vessel has a dead weight of 8,200t, a deck load of 5,600t and a cargo deck area of 1,400m².
The main generator can produce 13,820ekW. There are two main generator engines, each of 4,145 ekW at 900rpm, two main generator engines, each of 2,765 ekW at 900 rpm, two main azimuth propellers (pulling type, controllable pitch, frequency controlled) at 3,500kW, and two bow tunnel thrusters of controllable pitch, frequency controlled, with a power of 1,800kW.
There is also one swing-up compass thruster aft, controllable pitch and frequency controlled with a power of 1,800kW and one swing-up compass thruster fore, controllable pitch and frequency controlled with a power of 1,500kW.
The ship has a revolutionary bow shape designed to lower the impact on the environment and make the vessel safer in extreme weather conditions. The bow shape also means that the vessel can maintain speed while also saving fuel.
Offshore vessels with the Ulstein X-Bow system are designed to be able to maintain their speed, even in stormy weather. The company says vessels with the X-Bow design are 4%–7% more fuel-efficient than vessels with
conventional bows, depending on how they are operated. The inverted bow means vessels with this feature have exceptionally soft entry into oncoming waves.
WELL INTERVENTION SYSTEM
In August 2007, FMC Technologies signed a $25m contract to supply a Riserless Light Well Intervention (RLWI) system tower for installation on the Island Constructor. The system is intended for use by BP on its subsea wells in the North Sea over a three-year contract.
The Island Constructor will be able to carry out many types of operation, with ample space for a large deck area, a moonpool, an active 150t heave-compensated offshore crane, ROV hangar, diesel electric power plant and a helicopter deck. The vessel will be classified as an inspection, maintenance and repair/offshore construction vessel (IMR/OCV), and will be fitted for 90 people.

Fahey's Concrete Constructor Mixer, C480 TUT, was nearing the end of its long working life, when captured here in 2001 climbing away from its Okehampton base. With the addition of a rather ugly bumper, remarkably the remains of the lorry are still in their quarry in 2012, and is even on a SORN, although it will never see the road again, apart from being sent away in pieces to the scrapman.

It might say '80-300' on the front grille, but it's a Constructor!
I'm not sure what specialist purpose this tanker is used for, but it looks a great lorry.
Not sure if this was a Scottish based tipper at the time, 1995, as it seemed to be weekended at Carnforth Truckhaven
Fantastic!
Recently restored and possibly going back to work very soon.
IIRC these very early Constructors were not too different to the preceding Bison.
As previously posted - undergoing a rolling refurbishment while on waste haulage around the NW.
Run for the last 20 or so years by an owner driver, this lorry is now in the care of a skip firm. It is on it's third engine and second cab - also its third body and second set of rear axles.
The current engine is a Rolls 340 TX which is a little asthmatic. The previous engine was a 325 which despite persistent water problems, pulled extremely well. Prior to this the lorry was fitted with a 270 which suffered a broken crankshaft.
The Rockwell rear axles are from a Foden - fitted due to their cross-locks -- if this gets stuck on a tip then the rest of the vehicles stand no chance!
The Leyland has also been fitted with rubber suspension to counteract the excessive rolling found with the steel suspension when travelling over bumpy ground. This also eliminates the numerous breakages found with the original installation.
The approx 60 cu yard body was homemade around 10 years ago and was fitted when the chassis was lengthened.
The cab came from a Roadtrain found in Skegness -- the doors were cut down to fit.

I drove by this toddler and his dad while they were watching the construction going on in my neighborhood. I did the fastest U-turn, grabbed my camera from the back seat, and got this shot of this youngster sitting on his miniature backhoe.
Wouldn't you just love to know what this young boy is thinking?
Press your small "L" key to see large.
Tas Singla Mix operate this very tidy Leyland Constuctor mixer, that may well have been new to RMC, as it features an engine driven PTO in the front bumper.
Like a few other mixers I saw on our trip, TSM002 is also fitted with a Fassi crane that I guess gives a bit more flexibility when unloading.
Don't ask, because I don't know, the only thing I am sure of is that the chassis cab was converted to a tipper by a local haulier and run on 'til about 5 years ago!
