Hi, that is just the thing, thanks.As regards the mechanical issues, as far as I know they only had one laird at Ross for a short time. Later on they had two Clydesdales at Ross that were used on the Cotswolds runs, Swindon & Cheltenham and Banbury & Oxford. I am not aware of any steering issues, in fact I know that Dad thought they were nice little lorries to drive.
The only mechanical issues I remember being discussed were the brakes on the Ford Transcontinentals. They kept complaining and the fitters kept saying there was nothing wrong. It was probably just due to the fact that they were so fast, (over 70mph, no restrictors!)
Hi Mate - have sent you a pm
