The wide range of trucks on British roads in the 1980s is shown here in all its variety. The photographs are set out with informative captions, mostly two to a page, grouped by the particular trades served by the vehicles or their chassis/body type. Most of those depicted were built during the eighties, though a few classics still on the road serving specialised uses are also seen.

Groupings are given a brief introduction and cover 8-wheelers, wagon & drags, artics, milk tankers, petrol tankers, piggy-back operations, car transporters, household & theatrical removals, brewery wagons, coal haulage, timber haulage, cement mixers, powdered cement bulkers, steam engines on low-loaders, Matador & militants, farm & livestock transport in several categories, outsize loads, heavy recovery trucks, fairground vehicles, waste disposal, fire appliances and television company vehicles.
