Restoring a Harford 3 ton tipping trailer. Does anyone have any original pictures?

[Major_Fordson]

Hi all

My first post on here! I've recently purchased a Harford 3 ton tipping trailer and I am looking to do it up. I am looking for reference pictures of the trailer "as new" but I am struggling to find much info at all on them.

Struggling to figure out paint colours etc... and would love to recreate stickers etc....

Any pics, advice or ideas greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Here`s mine last year,all original apart from wheels and tyres.The H logo sticker has long gone though.Think the logo was a yellow H on a black background on the sloping part of the drawbar strenghthener.My brain keeps seeing some red somewhere but not sure.There was an old Vauxhall blue colour that was very similar.

Obviously a newer trailer but that’s the logo on ours

Think my sticker was slightly different but.

Thank you Colhonk!!! Lovely trailer. Really useful to see pics! Mine won’t have the high sides (yet ). white wheels; I had seen 1 other with white rims; so that has confirmed it for me! Thanks again!

Thanks wilkster! Part of my job is in design so i can recreate the H sticker/plate!! Or source an original if there is one about on the web!! Thanks again for pic!!

As said, the wheels and tyres are not original. The original wheels were Black and had multi rib tyres

Ah yes, sorry missed that about the wheels, makes sense. Ok that’s interesting: originals were black.
