OET969M ended its days as a yard shunter then sold to Adrian Mills who was going restore it ?
Thats a blast from the past Chris, you mentioned Adrian Mills who IIRC had a scrap yard between Thornhill roundabout and Tesco roundabout, old blondie got planning on it and now all houses now, then he had a place near Durley village hall I believe, Buzzer.
Memory jerker for me on FB as my first International driving job was with PBC European Transport driving a non sleeper AEC Mandator for £35 a week all in, Buzzer.
To be fair PBC changed names to Cabmont then British International so you had a job to keep up.
