Shore Porters.Click on pages twice.
Hi Dean,
Another great article. …this company as a lot of history Shore Porters Society. …I remember this vehicle in the article well…I’ve been up to Shore Porters in Aberdeen many times over the years…especially the old store and head office in Virginia Street in Aberdeen.
I had the pleasure of seeing this Vanplan integral parked outside Virginia Street when it was new…Vanplan built the vehicle for Shore Porters on a Leyland Leopard coach chassis …it was built and designed for speed and comfort for the regular journeys from Aberdeen to London…and I remember talking to the guys operating it at that time and they were very happy with it…and it was fast to.
I have seen pics of it on one of .the forums in a scrap yard in the last couple of years…but truely a beautiful looking vehicle in its day.
Shore Porters bought out Rumseys of Twickenham for a London base to.
