This 1985 close-up shows the cab door of a Ford Cargo 0811 lorry in London, finished in bright red and carrying the royal coat of arms with the wording “By Appointment of Her Majesty The Queen, Purveyors of Table Delicacies”. The signwriting below identifies the firm as V. Benoist Ltd, London W12 9QD, while the black door pillar still shows the model marking “CARGO 0811”. Although only part of the vehicle is seen, the image is full of period detail, from the squared-off Ford Cargo cab design to the carefully applied gold lettering and the prestige of the royal warrant itself. More than just a lorry study, it is a strong record of branded commercial transport in mid-1980s London, where even a close-up of a cab door could reveal a great deal about the business it served.
