I wonder why it would have an NL sticker on the back? Evan and Cooks were from London and a British firm!Perhaps its regular tractive unit on the other side of the water was a Dutch one. robert
May well have been, who knows? Evan and Cook were a removal company from Peckham, SE London.
Yes, I remember them; they had a yard on the main road. Robert
That’s right - I used to do business with them in Peckham, S.E.London in the early 1970’s - at that time run by Bernard Evan-Cook, an "old school " gent - I’m not sure if they became part of Transport Development Group (TDG) or not ?
And, yes Bullit, they were basically a furniture removal & storage company and, as such, delivered furniture and equipment for the British Embassies and Chamber of Commerce, much work later done by Pro-Motor. Their style was to use unaccompanied trailers and sub contract traction so probably a Dutch haulier would collect from the other side - interestingly furniture and exhibition goods were exempt from the " permits " required for many European countries during late '60’s & '70’s so they seemed to stick to that trade, not general TIR work. As you know ERF-NGC Tehran was a big market in those days before the Shah was overthrown.
