Hi all,
Very sorry to inform you all,that my very good friend kelvin Powell has passed away,after a typically brave fight against leukaemia.when I first met kelvin he was a driver with A.S. Griffiths in Bridgend.years later during 1994 he and his loving wife Sandra started Kelsan Transport.Years after that he became a member on here,known as pERFection 14.Kelvin Myself and several other members on here went on many trips abroad fuelled by the local beer and our mutual love of trucks. Happy memories of trips to Malta,Crete,Belgium,France,Switzerland and all over the uk.Kelvin was also the father to two beautiful daughters.A very hard working driver,businessman,husband,father and grandfather.R.I.P. “Powell” mate…

I believe this motor was once operated by a South Wales haulier, 2nd owner after Porky? It has been brought back to the Midlands and will join another 3 ERF’s in the collection!
