In this post we’ll have a look at some of the commercial vehicles attending – just for the sake of creating something of a theme.  With the date for entries now passed, I’ll finally get around to putting up the gallery of expected exhibits to give you some idea of the variety and quality of entries.  It is increasingly difficult to find earlier commercial vehicles out on the road, so the GNSF is becoming one of the places to see such in operation, and rarer still (unique?), the context they can be enjoyed in.  These early commercials really are very special and are something to really enjoy seeing at work at our event…
