Buzzer:
Hi Dean the marathon or peanut puncher as we used to affectionately call them of Quickspan Floors looks very much like a T.Coakes motor from New Milton he has a lot of old preserved trucks IIRC, also the two Millers from Poole who made meat pies and the like, cheers Buzzer.
Good stuff Buzzer, you are spot on with that observation of the Marathon being a T.Coakes motor. I remember seeing Coakes motor’s about but
remember them being blue. I had to dig into the archives and this article mentions Quickspan and this is the blue i remember so assume that
the Quickspan motors were a different colour ? I was going to give you 10 out of 10 chap but not sure about New Milton ■■? 
As far back as i can remember they have always been based in Corfe Mullen next to Glandel and Beacon Hill brick company chap.
Heres another one in Quickspan’s colours.
