Hi Dean,
The blue borderer and bulker,could be? one of Gordon Roberts’ from knighton.They also had lorries based in swansea.A fairly large firm in their day.E.R. Clissold were from Abergavenny.Thanks for the MACK information,I’d love an F700 an awesome truck imo.Regards Andrew.
I wondered about that Robert’s Borderer. The 700 series Macks definately had a look about them i agree !

hi dean,
Cam Gears were in Resolven in the Neath valley.It’s known as TRW steering now.My guess with the new bulker with a coke body is E&J Meeks? A big operator back then,though a northern company they had lorries based and working in south wales for many years.
Regards Andrew.
Spiers of Melksham Mandator artizus.com/acatalog/info_MJ100.html nice Mike Jeffries painting and one from Len Roger’s Collection .

Nice looking motors the Spiers Mandator’s and Mercury’s and a fine painting by Mike, nice fellow too I had a good chat with him one day at a show on painting. Shame he seems to have missed the ‘D’ out of the name on the grille! Franky.
Eleven years later in, March 2009, Somerfield themselves were taken over by the Co-operative Group in a £1.57 billion deal creating the UK’s fifth-largest food retailer with the Somerfield name replaced by the Co-operative brand in a rolling program of store conversions ending in summer 2011.
Georges f88 looks like a spread axle trailer ?
The f7 tipper has a well built body ,not sure about the wind catcher sheet rack though

Hi Punchy Dan, Just what i was thinking, very strong build.
Like Deanb, i thought Wilcox but dont remember them using so many vertical ribs, but could be a special build, Mark Rouse retired many years ago, shame he is not on this forum.
