PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION (Part 1)

Hot rod32:
The white Maggie on page 396 in Javelin transport colours, they came from Wellesbourne in Warwickshire. Their yard was on the main road into the village just past the old Fountain Cafe on the left hand side. I think they finished in the late 80s.

Thanks for the info “Hot rod32”, good stuff chap. :smiley:

JME Scania,not sure what the initials stand for ■■

I think JME was John Etchells, IIRC the director and same colour scheme as the Vitafoam company from Middleton, Manchester. He may have started hiz business from the final days of Blue Dart (similar colour scheme)

Intresting information “hayday” thanks for posting. :wink:

Heres a few Blue Dart / Vitafoam motors. If anyone is intrested popped an article on about Vitafoam on page 329.
