An early Foden diesel from Teddy smiths fleet, went on to ERF 8 leggers later,

Is E A Smith still running, Pete? I passed their depot around twenty years ago and it didn’t look any tidier than the old days A couple of my mates used to run the 8-wheelers from Hereford to Llanwern & back on nights. Cash in hand, of course! :wink:

Hi ROF,
Long gone mate, Gill’s sausage factory on the site now, E.A Smith had the knack of making a 3 year old motor look 20 years old! When the O licence came in and MOT’s they got in a bit of trouble with the ministry, I seem to think that Stan Smith ( Stan Smith and Sons, blue Daf XF’s) is Teddy Smiths grandson?
Hope you are well and keeping out of trouble! Cheer’s Pete
