Hi all. Andrew you’re right about Transcons. There was something special about them.
Rowley, looking forward to seeing your Transcon, the Catnic ones always looked superb.
Andrew, Lewin Lewis’s Transcons always stood out, well presented but hard worked hard with Short Bros.
I met Lewin a few times, the last time at Gullivers’s in 1991 about a week before I emigrated. He had rented a 2035 Merc. Nice guy, he knew his business well.
Regards Paul

Hi Paul,
Great to hear from Florida mate.As a child,I disliked Transcon’s,because J&M sold their F88’s to buy them,45 years later.I think they are the most innovative and well designed European truck that has ever been built,so far,during my lifetime.Lew Lewis is posting some great photos on Facebook.This is the latest project,it’s been our pleasure to be involved with,for the Rowland Ward Collection.Taken earlier today.
Hi all,
Here’s a pair for Rowly,Many years before she came to Caerphilly,The mighty 141 was on steel haulage in Immingham…
I love my 141 that much I’ve just had a big tatoo of it on my back 6 hours of hell and pain my mrs thinks I’ve lost it regards rowley
