Anyone came across these while they were in operation? Based in Skelmersdale, had a garage in Burscough. Went bust in 2004 when new owners took over, they ran blue, yellow and white outfits. Any info would be great.
my Daf is ex Allen Munro
did they do car parts to europe?
These any use?

Allen Munro Commercials split off under different ownerhsip from Transport. I found Allen Munro Transport decidedly dubious when I had dealings with them…
Allen sold the transport, but kept the garage in Burscough. That blue Super Space Daf is the yard shunter with occasional trips to Poland and Belgium to bring trailers in.

Maybe the church police were after 'em as well
Mar/April 2003 Chris Hodge had several of these (ex Munro)

Not sure whether Chris Hodge had them though, perhaps it came from next-door??
It’s definitely got a PISTON ENGINE though

They bought out Tom Shanks from Aberdeen, promised the world to the drivers, then asset stripped the company the week after.
