Nice pic Andy,how come it’s taken you so long to post this.I remember seeing them around in the day and i hope you got more pics to post on here,cheers Buzzer.Reg no looks like JAA ###N but goes fuzzy when you blow it up.
Only just came across the photo because someone who knows an uncle of mine spotted it on ebay and bought it! I’ve only had a print off my uncles pc so far but am hoping to get hold of the original so I can scan a better quality image. Have started a family hunt now to see if we can get any more old photos, one of my relatives must have something somewhere!
Heres the photo that willieroadstar dad took of my grandad

Hi All, I think i have now read through most of the 227 pages on this thread and so decided to register and add a little of my nostalgia. (must be getting old!)
My first HGV job was in Eastleigh for Square Grip
this was my F7
I then went to work for the Clapcotts in Nutsey Lane.
mine on the right.
and then onto Wincanton transport contracting to Esso
and the onto Linkman tankers part of the TDG.
I am busy trying to find more pictures of years gone by.
