Hi Rowland,
Thanks for everything that you’ve done.Aside of the cost,the sheer grief and aggravation of a concourse rebuild is enough to have forced most truck owners to have given up on the project.Though you drove the length and breadth of the country after flying to Greece eight years ago now to buy the truck.The look on your face,to me,says it all.

Hi all,
A couple of South Wales steamers here.Gwynne Bowen have been mentioned on this thread,many times and need no introduction imo.Though the Morgan’s Removals motor,is a firm I know nothing about.
