I know my 401 was original owned by JB Transport from Ironville

All these Mk 5’s are too much for a GOM, I need a lie down.

Butchers van of Mark Williams of Wigan, with Preston Reg No. CK 6617, probably dating from the mid 1930s.

Nice to see the Sayers of Newbury pic, when I rode with dad in the 60’s on the Seddon grain lorries they did similar work with 1950’s Albions fitted with the ‘four pot’ engine. Always a nice tidy fleet.

A.M.Garage.I see they had a french contact number. I dont remember them but i wonder if they also
had a depot/office in France like Atkins,Swains,Axminster transport.
Dont remember Dean but in those days a Telex number was a Telex number where ever it was (they had no prefix) and some were given some very exotic directions.

I drove a few of those R365 and R340 Renaults and they were very nice to drive. 18 speed knock over gearboxes were a bit noisey but the cabs were like ballrooms very spacious , I think they were much better than the Premiums . Now the G290 GT that was a pile of crap

I well remember my mum trailing me into Mark Williams’ shop in Preston when I was little, in the days when you went shopping in town centres, and by bus!
And just around the corner, on Market Street, was Hill’s furniture shop, who operated a Rolls-Royce van
