Hi ramone that motor went like a train, lad that drove it when it was new used to do
three Londons a week working out of Lep at Bradford most weeks.
It was bought new from Tilitsons bradford we had it on distance work
for about three years then it was put on local work,it was recabbed
after about five years due to cab rot.
Regards Dave.

He as a look of Lennie Schofield in that picture , did they do much for Magnet I remember a few of Magnet drivers getting sacked for parking ticket fiddles but I also heard they were looking for an excuse to get rid of them because they were on high wages. My dad worked for Cyril Whiteleys in the late `50s and they got plenty of work from Magnet running to London with more drops than a milkman

That load was loaded out of Magnets yard at Scarborgh or off the Quay side down in the harbour.
They had quite a lot of timber boats off loading in Scarborgh for a lot of years it was a good back load
for us. They also had there motors loading back to Keighley they had 2 motors on full time
night and day running timber into keighley.
Cheers dave.
