I don’t know where either started life, but 263 seems to have been re-cabbed at some point

Thanks for the comments and pic Chris. :wink:

Gday Robert - Swallow’s were a small transport company from Beaconsfield / Amersham area - European hanging meat specialists - my Dad bought a trailer off them during their transition to Caddies, unfortunately it was a dud.
Cheers Keith

Hi dean took this today in rothdean station road cinderford covered in bushes a leyland tanker

Thanks for the pic John. That cab from what you can see looks in remarkably good condition,and does not appear
to have much rust in and i see the windows have been left up which means the interior will have not been ruined.
Looks like it would be one for restoration. :wink:
