Anyone remember Thomason’s ? Mainstay of the fleet were Saviem’s. Quite rare to have a large fleet of them in those days. There were a couple of Scanias too.
I’ve found a mint company brochure while tidying me cupboards so here it is
Front and back cover, when opened up it’s a lovely fleet line up.
truckerash any idea when the thomasons leaflet was printed
i remember when my dad got a start at thomo’s going with him to clean the saviem unit he’d been given,it was a proper tip and thilthy inside and out mainly due to the fact it had been a spare unit
,any way we found out it had no cutains so i was given the task of exracting the curtains from a dead berliet that sat in the grave yard at thomo’s,this done then fitting them,next it was steam clean time ,after about 3 hours graft the motor looked halve decent,i spent all my school holidays in that motor tramping all over the uk(they had stopped overseas work then),the place i remember most was the ecco cold store in tottenham,when we went through the gates there was around 10 other thomo’s waiting to load ,what a sight for a wagen mad 13 year old,happy days ,good memories,gaz
any more photo’s of thomasons motor’s or there northwich yard ?

hiya,
I bet the regular lad who drove this felt like King of the Road and would
have dreaded the day coming when he would lose it, a bit different to
the old long nosed things I drove (Scammell Handyman) though i still did
a days work just the same.
thanks harry, long retired.
