Saw this old trader at a classic car show today,i wonder what firm owned it originally .
Just google the reg number JMK 795B and you will see it is quite a popular motor in its Toleman fleet livery

Your right about Taylors being a dump… it was a dirty dump as well.

I’ll second that.Went in just the once years ago and that was enough. 
Oh Yea the Albion Clydsdale unit ,took my test in one of those ,with the Post Office supplies dept,I hated that unit, at that time, there was two choices either the Albion or a Guy big J,and i got saddled with the Albion which was rubbish compared to the Guy. Thanks for the pics Bubbs

Years ago I worked for a firm that had one of those, it had a 4 cylinder in it it made a 1625 Merc seem powerful

Thanks for the TVT pix, Bubbleman. You made an old man happy, yet again!
More power to your elbow mate.
hi bubbs,youve done it again! another blast from my past, the Seddon 30-4 of Pyetrans,did a short stint for them with that motor 73ish,doing Box work for CP ships,good old motor, slow but reliable,seem to remember it came to pyetrans ,still in Westinghouse, Kingswood colours,but not sure who owned it then.Remember when Pyetrans used to keep the empty boxes on the old station yard at Warmley by the crossing,we were trying to put an empty 40 box on my trailer with an old Iron Fairey crane, the chain snapped and the box fell about 6ft , missing me by about 18"",i dont think ive moved that fast since! just remembered the managers name at the time,iirc it was stan booy,who lived at Bridgeyate, and used to run a BMC artic and single axle trailer himself…keep up the excellent work,you keep bringing back things id forgotton about…chris
ps. do you remember a firm called Keynsham tpt Services ?
Three photos of Harris Haulage. Purfleet.
A Bristol lorry thats pre-dates Bubbs.Jenkins of Hanham.
Phil 43 years on tankers what is a rope.

Pyetrans Albion…bet old Harry Gills driven one of these.Cheers Bubbs.
Spent a week with a Park Royal AEC Mandator waiting for my Albion to come free.I found it a bit “Pedestrian” after the Mandator,but the 6 months I did on it got me my “Grandfather rights” for my class 1.
Never found a splitter on mine!
This would be in 1969.
Hi bubbs , Griggsy’s F86 brought back some memories, used to see loads of them down the west country/ M5 area in the 70s . Swift’s used to mistakenly flash them & vice versa as both firms ran Volvo’s in near identical colours 
Great pics
