Remploy Ltd Borough Mill Neild Street Oldham

In the mid 1980’s Remploy bought a number of Ford Cargo’s, at the same time adopting this ghastly orange and red livery to their fleet,

One of those vehicles was this Ford Cargo Reg No B774 VNB which was powered by the unreliable Perkins engine.

Pictured above on the M1 Scratchwood Services driver Jim Wilson recalls that after being only around eight weeks old and while down the road in Kent the unreliable Perkins engine sized up. This was due to a faulty batch of engines being produced at that time and was replaced free of charge by Ford.
