Captured on camera on todays visit to the yard with the horses, a tidy lookin outfit from Sparks transport from Somerset. The fella drivin it said he’d just got out of a 53 reg aand it shone just as much as this one. I once bought a " T " reg 141 ex Sparks and a good motor it was too.

Hi John I bought a smashed Sparks 141 sleeper cab from unit commercials many years ago and cut and shut a daycab into a sleeper

Seen here with the late John Shaw (RIP) shunting a Scac Trailer load of Ato chemicals in our yard.

Anyway, i’m back in the sun, G&T for late afternoon!
Here’s a man who appeared in a recent picture when he was much younger…I encountered him in Slatey’s ex workshop.
