Harare Merryweather TL

1987 Harare, Zimbabwe. I am sure the experts will identify this open TL. Sadly I did not get a better picture of the Dennis F series in the background. Yellow presumably because their was British influence. Harare infrastructure was in good order in the mid 1980s when we visited.

AEC, Petros probably with bus chassis, as I think was the norm with these vehicles.

Hi Petros, Do you know anything about the "D" series Dennis in the background?? Soren.

Soren - you are right it is D series not an F series as I said in the caption, but sadly I know nothing more, I did not even photograph it close to as I do not think I was really supposed to be in the yard. As you can see there is a school party visiting.
