I’ve been working on a fleet list… Mercedes 1628/ 1633/1644(x8) 1748(x4?) 2 in livery/ 1 white/ 1 black. Volvo F12(x5) 1 4x2/ 4 tag. Scania 142(x3) 113.360/ 143(x3) 1 standard roof/ 2 Topliners. M.A.N 17.372(x2). Leyland Daf 95.380. Plus the 8 leg bulkers(Foden/Volvo FL10. Still pretty sure I saw an F12.400 Globetrotter once… Anybody?
One I got from Ebay. 113.360
Found a couple of real gems today… Ill post when they arrive
A new one on me… Foden S106 6X4
Another one
The 113 as promised, smart phone my a***!
Anybody know what year say started up or what year they packed up I think it was "93 but not to sure can anybody shed any light on it? Cheers
My older brother was foreman/fitter at Moreville Trucks(Scania) in Nottingham in the 80s and 90s he says the ministry finished off SAY Transport as they were always running bent and a were a big cowboy outfit
Most of the drivers he knew would often take a pay cut to get the next new motor
Have posted some pix in other places but ive not been on here for while so i thought i might try to revive the thread. Always looking for new photos of the fleet.
Cheers
Peter

Not sure when they finished John, I know Phil Rowbotham (spelling?) did fitting for them but he later had a place in Cawdor Quarry, Matlock. He fitted a new electric stop to my ■■■■■■■ L10 and that would have been in 1998 so I assume SAY had gone by then?
