They finished about the early 90s, had been going years, they used to have AEC mercury 4 wheelers, i can remember their scania 80s and 81 4 wheelers then the 82s…
There’s still one of their old van bodies in a field right beside the A5 at the Hinkley dodwells ind est island…
Sorry no pics but i worked for them in the early 80s out of the Feltham depot. Armadale road off ■■■■■ lane.
4 wheeler work mainly Scania 80s, that were trunked down from Leeds,Johnstone or Hinkley . . or the occasional Salford van hire 2100
thanks for the info lads.
Bee’s used to deliver and collect from all the same firms as I did(Ripponen & District Motors) round Manchester in the 60s & 70s.There is a good photo of a restored AEC on the Flickr website,just search for"bees transport"
Cheers,John.
Hi GAZ70,
Truckers daughter did a Bees thread a few years ago, got some great pics on it plus a Bees magazine with all the info about them on it. Just type in Bees transport into google images and follow the link from there…
