Long Departed Southampton Hauliers (Part 1)

Jimski:
Hi all hope your all well !!
A friend of mine Pete Green has been a sign writer in Southampton for 40 plus year he sent me this pic yesterday of a Guy J that he sign wrote for a fella called Mick Ingram does any one recognise the motor?
He said he used to pull for Sea Route Ferry ■■

I am sure this is the Big J I bought from a Spring Road subby around 1977/78 , I cut the back panel out and inserted 18" which made a fair sleeper. It was then painted jet black with white wheels. In fact I completed 2 Big J’s the same way, one had a ■■■■■■■ and the other was Gardner .

Would you have employed this man ?

That brings back a memory. I drove that back in the day.

Had it lifted in Concorrezo. Got the sack for being off route!

Unhappy day! Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Here is another shot of the Jameson F88 next to my Scania on the top deck think Townsend Thoreson ferry in Southampton Docks, cheers Buzzer.

old jameson,

Hi all been sorting out me loft found a few old picture’s so am going to try to bore you all.

Ha ha me again got the hang of it know.

Got a feeling I know that eatery and there was a bib carpark opposite but cannot for the life of me think of the name, it was on the road towards Bourge en Bress, the alternative route than the road the Bakehouse was on, annoying me now so someone tell us whats its name, Buzzer

That’s the place Tone just could not think of the name of it, far better than the Bake House and not full of flies and the lorry park was on the level so you did not end up at one end of the bunk, MH moments right there Buzzer.
