The metallic red Seddon was driven by Sue Green from Sandwich.
Better half of Tony,he who built the oversized Transcontinetal and others.
For Larry Dunbar, REO, stands for Ransom E Olds who started the firm in Lansing, Michigan in 1904 and produced bus and truck chassis also cars between 1905 and 1975.
Harris and Hassell of Brislington, Bristol, a haulage firm started in 1914 were the importers of REO chassis and engines from US beginning in1923 and in 1926 because of import duty they started making their own chassis but still imported the engines, it would seem that most of the production was buses, this info is from Grace’s Guide as are the photos.
I have other pics yet to be sorted.

You wouldn’t want to drive that one - that firm was one of the original Knights of the Road ( Day & ■■■■■■ Nights!)
Good to see the Munro’s of Aberdeen and William Armstrong’s photos MOC I can recall all the Munro wagons running down through Carlisle and Armstrongs more locally, note the twin tanks on the Reiver.
Cheers, Leyland 600
