I think some of your info is incorrect, we had 1 x Scammell and Len Humphries didn’t drive it.

if you check i think you will find that you actully had one A reg and then purchased a new one which i think was a c reg and len was driving the a reg maybe only tempory but he went on holiday and i drove it for a couple of weeks they actully sprayed the new one in the fitter shop at Iver it would have been around 84/85 when i worked there

I remember shipping out of Southampton one Sunday night on Seagull Ferries.Yes I am that old! I seem to remember a Poveys sixwheeler Ford cargo with a load of pigs on.No not policemen!.Lovely guy.I’m not sure who smelt worse. He kept going down below to see to them.After all that someone is going to tell me it wasn’t Poveys.
I well remember the little guy with Povey’s Ford D series 6 wheeler, met up with him on several ferries, but cannot recall his name. The Ford had a trailing axle and I remember it having trouble reversing onto the lift to the top deck of Brittany Ferries first new ship Pen Ar Bed. I first new of Poveys as livestock hauliers, it was some time before I realised that they did more than that. I also seem to recall a Dennis artic going up and down the A20.

The driver of the Ford D series 6 wheeler could have been Tony Cannon and yes we did have a Dennis arctic, well remembered.
