Ergomatic cabbed Leyland Beaver 4X2 tractor unit Reg No TTE 540D Fleet No 51
was registered new on the 1st of February 1966 at a cost of £3,129 6s 9d.

Powered by a 680 engine with 2 stick gearbox it was driven from new by the late Jimmy Holden who
was another long time serving Riding’s man.

Pictured above in the depot at Longridge, coupled to one of Riding’s standard 33 foot Crane Fruehauf
trailers, it was later sold on to Walter Southworth of Rufford on the 28th of February 1974 for £950 plus vat.

Walter Southworth eventually went on to buy all of Riding’s old tilt cab Beavers.
