Saw registration which is a North Yorkshire reg, so this vehicle would have probably been from the Middlesbrough depot of Lion Tube company, not too sure how many other depots they had if any. Factory still at Middlesbrough although company is now part of the Van Leeuwen group.

I don’t know what GTI stood for, but they were from the Canterbury area - it looks like that pic might be New Dover Rd.
GTI trucks used to be parked at various places in and Canterbury, but I don’t think they’ve been around since the late '80’s.
I worked with a chap back in the 90’s who had worked for them - on general European tilt work.

Lewiss had a furniture warehouse at Moss Vale Road Urmston and had about 40 scammell automatic coupling trailers and about 10 scarabs. Mid 1960s I used to deliver Mothers Pride Bread to Lewiss store Manchester about 6am. Lewis`s would have a couple of trailers parked up on the loading bays ready for the Urmston drivers to do changeovers. It was marvellous to see one driver Alec. On arrival without fail he would reach for his mug full of tea that was balancing somewhere on his dash, eat a sandwich while smoking his pipe that never left his mouth. This was while doing his changeover within Nano seconds, brew can at the ready and be away back to Urmston leaving a thick trail of smoke and spit after stocking up his pipe. I think he used to do this trip about 8 times a day job and finish.
Regards KEV
