Ian,just read the bit about Reece Brothers running to the middle east ,I worked with a driver called ■■■■ who drove a Marathon for them,he came from the midlands area ,he had ginger hair and a couple of teeth missing,a bit vague I know ,but 30 years takes a way a few brain cells ,just the story reminded me who he was on for,
regards derek
A few Volvos for todays offering.
Hope these are of interest.

Trucking 482002… I once worked with a driver called ■■■■ Adams, ginger hair, teeth missing, he was from Buckingham, but he did work up in Coventry in the early 70’s could this be the same man.
Shame about the Crusaders, were the drivers ok?
Splendid pics again Bubbleman, thanks for shareing them.

This motor finished up on Simon International.
I think the first driver was a Greek guy who went by the name of Hercules.
From memory,the only trip he did was about 25 drops all over the M/E,took him a couple of months.
After that it was driven by Johnny Hunt,(Black John).
John was going out to Baghdad one trip and ran out of Ferodo going down the hill into Damascus.Took the slip road at the bottom much too fast and rolled the drag.
On another ocassion,John picked me up at Athens Airport in this rig to take me up to Gevgelia to recover SI’s F89 roadtrain that had been dumped.
If I remember correctly, Simons F12 wagon and drag was impounded at Dover it appears that what was in the load was more than what was supposed to be
this firm were based on the old birch coppice pit site near dordon and tamworth i remember seeing them every day when i were a kid living in mile oak a village on the a5 near tamworth cheers for posting this pic bm
Thanks for those Mark.
I used to work for A.E.Evans and the AEC MK5 was from Barking depot and I knew the driver well as he was a regular visitor to our Sheffield depot.Can’t remember his name though
Only a few today,not got a lot of time.
A bit of a mixed bag,hope theyre ok.
Cheers Marc.

There was one or two motors impounded at Dover!
More great pics Marc.
Just shows what can be done to improve the drivers lot
This is the kitchen I built in my Scania 142.
I also had a Volvo fridge under the bottom bunk,a TV,and an outside shower,proper job with curtain.
Rick Ellis used to call me “Poser”,cheeky bleeder!
