Don’t know about the Transcon in Rothmans colours but hopefully Steve will have info on that. I have attached 3 Show-haul photos showing the lengths they went to in those days (late 70’s early 80’s) to look after their customers. Those French seamen or dockers on strike couldn’t stop Show-haul. Promotor did the same a few years later when shipping the exhibits to the Paris Fashion Show. Simon Calderwood in the office was handling things for the company and often had 10 or more small transit size vans as well as a few larger lorries running down there. One year the inevitable strike took place and Simon arranged for some of the vehicles to be flown over to Beauvais from where they then drove into Paris. Its what is known as “going the extra mile for the customer” or as is often said “the show must go on”.
