Do you mean the 1 that drove a Transcon from Baildon?

Don’t know who he worked for but I’m assuming we are both talking about Peter Sutcluffe. Wouldn’t have wanted to lend him some tools you could have been bang in trouble.

Thats him and he drove a Ford Transcontinental which at the time stood out a bit ,apparently the other drivers used to call him the ripper due to him being interviewed about the murders on a couple of occasions .
