Living and working in Selly Oak i remember A M Garage well
Their motors where a low key grey and blue and used to come into Sturge Chemicals on occasions in Kings Norton.
i was on the bus going home along the A38 in Northfield B’Ham when a French registered Saviem pulling a AMG trailer
emerged from Bell Lane at a set of lights. There where 2 guys sat behind me and one of them said’
‘Look at that, its a Mack’ then they started to have a light hearted argument about what it was.
It make me chuckle
Incidentally, i understood AMG to stand for ‘Annie Mosley Garage’ though i do not know whether that was correct or not.

Good evening all, I have been searching for god knows how long about the Volvo FL that ran the Cadbury tanker/tippers in the 90s cant find any pictures at all, i know they ran them from Leominster plant with molton choc crumb. Does anybody have any pictures of them?

Anyone out there used to drive for Midland Integrated Services from Oldbury, situated on Park Lane Ind estate, we did multiple drops all over UK.
