nice pictures everyone thank you for adding them to my page

Are you based in Norfolk or is it just a coincidence that the telephone numbers on the trucks are from the Attleborough, Wymondham area in Norfolk. The last 2 photo location look familier aswell, but just trying to rack my brains as to where they are, I think one might be Bowes of Watton and the other might be a haulage yard near Attleborough.
Didn’t Carter’s the building contractor run a transconti until a few years back? I remember somebody telling me, they wanted to get some panels for it and they were told to get them from Renault as the panel on a Major were the same.

My truck, my truck!I had SUR 57W for a while in the early 90s and what a wagon. I tried for a long time in more recent years to find out what happened to her and eventually discovered was destroyed in a fire in Newcastle.
That must have made a huge improvement 
2nd photo is at acv/rory holbrooks place in roudham ■■?

That was an easy fix. Remove the 2 plastic air vents above windscreen, make up 2 blanking plates, fit with sealer, re-fit grills…Job done. Sorry it’s a bit late now…
