Hi Larry, as Bewick relates Bells were an old established coal merchants and haulage company in Wigton going back into the early 1930s I guess and by the 1950s run by the three sons. Their livery was a rich blue with black chassis and mudguards the wagons being kept immaculate at all times if possible. As they approached retiring age and the eldest passing away the decision was taken to sell out circa 1974/5 to D.A Harrison of Waverton. Their fleet mostly Chieftains and Leyland Comets with 5 or 6 wagons loaded frequently out of Ranks, Spillers and the Coop at Dunston with animal feed for Wigton area farms or the West ■■■■■■■■■■ Farmers depot. I was fortunate enough to visit Albion Motors at Glasgow as in this Albion as it had to be returned for a warranty job and I was invited to accompany Ernie Bell that day where after completing business we were shown around the repair shops at Yoker including “The Black Museum” where components that had been neglected or abused were exhibited.Then we were taken to the Scotstoun works and briefly shown the assembly shop etc. A great experience as a 14 year old lad. I learned and was taught a lot about road haulage travelling in that Albion which stood me in good stead in later years as a driver then owner operator.
Cheers, Leyland 600.
Hello Ade Jenson did make trucks for a time they were all aluminium construction to get them under the 3ton unladen weight so they could run at 30mph.
This is a model of one that used to run out of Kilmarnock. Eddie.

Senior moment, K8 was the ‘three way van’ and I SHOULD have known as I worked on both K9’s and the K6 six wheeler model as well. Thank’s.

Various Bedfords, I passed my driving test (1952) in a Bedford furniture van of much earlier vintage, same size as first pic but earlier model as in pic 2, also at that time a member of the Bedford Drivers Club, still got the badge.

Hiya…if you go to the Llandudno site look on the last page you can see a very rare Jensen just restored by
the walsh brothers from Manchester.the one at Llandudno has a forward set cab to give more loading space
for the 3 wheeled cars it carried.

Hi oiltreader, I know the Elwyn, some good pubs in Grangemouth. The depot these tankers were based in is now an Asda as is the shell petroleum yard as they say all good things come to an end, I dont think there is a bus depot in grangemouth now nearest is larbert or bannockburn.
