Hong Kong To Kowloon Express Delivery.... [PIC]

One of my memories of Hong Kong and the now obliterated walled city of Kowloon (thanks to the CCP) in the 70's was looking past the towering corporate skyscrapers that graced the steep hill  leading to the peak overlooking Victoria Harbour. Down below was really the most scenic on both sides with a myriad of small businesses scrabbling to make a living. The sights and smells were a treat to the senses. There was no longer any place for the rickshaws to ply their trade in the busy traffic. The few licensed rickshaw were at the Star Ferry Terminal for tourists to photograph. They were replaced by taxis, London style busses and these ubiquitous tarpaulin covered Morris FG series COE trucks. The occupants of the cab sat on metal chairs welded to the floor and were so close to the 6 cylinder engine that the firewall was wrapped in quilted insulated padding. Not too comfortable but infinitely better than carrying the load on their backs. This series of trucks used Austin engines of various displacements in gas or diesel form. and were built from 1960 to 1980 in Scotland.
