does anyone have any photos of james c ashworth vehicles ,they used to do all international harvester haulage in uk and mainland europe and ceased trading in 1984.
Apologies for it not being a ‘period’ picture - this is one I took at the Trans-Pennine, Harrogate in 2003:
I took this one near Bedford in 1978
amazed with the erf photo it was driven by my dad mainly to france hooked up to ashworths tractor cab trailer i spent many happy hours in the passenger seat
sorry for pic quality ,F10 with double deck baler trailer i think on dunkirk dock about to unload the driver is Dennis Robson sadly no longer with us.Picture 2 is Bob Quirie loaded with four international tractors not sure of location DWW967T is the seddon atki the erf posted earlier was his previous truck will try to improve photos but still new to this sure they will get better
excellent photo of that baler trailer, recognise the name but don’t remember him as such - any more?!
