Hi Les can’t remember seeing the BMC arounb Bradford but you can see it’s a Ashworth cut and shut extension
to get the extra tractor on i can remember he had an old 4 wheeler dodge Dave Wingate had it for
awhile i was loading with him at McConakies on west ferry road he asked me to pull it forward
a yard got in fired it up what a noise i said he was a hero,I had driven Thames traders at crows
but they was’t as loud as that.
Cheers Dave.
Hi Dave, no I don’t remember them either that’s why I put it on, even as a kid I was into wagons and saw ashy’s up and down Allerton road as I lived at Squire lane then, not sure if its Austin or Morris, I think the grill is the telltale, Les.

Hi Les Ashworths did have some 4 inline trailers i remember Keith bell telling me about
Crockett coming into the yard one day with a load of wool on board parked up on
a slope and it just rolled over, i don’t think they were very stable.
All good fun happy days.
Cheers Dave.
Hi Dave, luckily never pulled one, but had the pleasure of changing some wheels on one once, yes happy days. Les.
