This thread has definitely taken a turn for the worse ! A KE with a Gardner engine run by Stampers( Penrith , Culgaith or even Glasgow ) The plot thickens ! might this just be a big red herring ? Probably, and one thing is for sure thereāll not be a photo of said KE ! Cheers Bewick.
Dark red with lettering in black diamond on door, would that have been J G Stamper?
You are the local man, not me!
Cheers Peter
Well Peter you have narrowed it down to Glasgow, Penrith or Culgaith ! All three used the same style i.e. Black diamond on the door with small lettering inside the diamond ! However, this might help to narrow it down, J.G. (Geoff) Stamper was Penrith based. G.A. ( Gordon) Stamper was based along the A66 at Culgaith. John Stamper, Geoffās Father and Gordons Brother was based in Glasgow. Does this help ? Cheers Dennis. Oh! and PS G.A. Stamperās colour was a bit more āredā than the Penrith and Glasgow fleets !
From photos I have seen, I would say J.G,'s colour.
Another question regarding the Stamper family. We always used to get our diesel and some repairs at Wilf Brogdenās Davidsonās Garage in Penrith. We also used to transport horses for him. A while back I heard that his daughter, Cherry, had married a Stamper and now had a truckstop, would this be the old BP Truckstop? That had just opened last time I was around there.
Cheers Peter
