One more photo of Mercedes 1726 artic tractor unit 2474M today, this one being taken at Acton Works on 6th March 2007, less than a year before the lorry was sold. The traces of the original red livery are still visible, as is the faded 'GLC exempt vehicle' label on the radiator grille. Come to think of it, the latter is a bit odd. The Greater London Council was abolished in 1986, yet 2474M was not delivered until 1990! Also visible are a pair of new Ford Transits for Metronet, and two British Transport Police vehicles. Leaning against the building on the left are some blue doors which are probably off a service vehicle, possibly being from the back of a dropside lorry.

Didn't the GLC ''lorry ban'' carry on after the authority was abolished but under a slightly different name?

I suspect Kim is right but, if so, it looks like they didn't bother changing the plates. The text on this one still reads 'GLC Exempt Vehicle'.
