Hi BubblemanThanks for the Davis and Poulters Mercs remember both of them well.
Cheers, Ben.
Super shot of the Poulter Merc Bubs I sure can remember them from the 60s they were always in deep lumber with the Traffic Comissioners! Kept the trade mags and papers in good copy for years! If I remember the Davies’s ended up with one company based in the North east with about 10 motors I think it was called Larrow Transport Northern and the motors were red (I think).Keep up the good work Bubs you are a Star!!!Regards Bewick.
Keep em peeled my great mate and grandson of the family has restored a 1418 in the famous colours to be shown soon

Hi Marc years ago I bought a damaged LB series cab from Unit Commercials at Salisbury and I seem to remember them saying it came from a 141, we used the back half to convert a Molo’s day cab tractor unit into a sleeper
Seen here with John Shaw a fitter/driver who was with me for many years.
I thought I had seen that red and white Scania before somewhere.
He’s another one the same from the book ‘European Trucks’ by David Jacobs
Still no further in finding out who owned them though.
Hello again,Well done Pat,I had it in my head that the Sparks 141 had a prang but could’nt remember where I read it…John Shaw looked like a good all round employee.The cream/red Scanias identidy is still a question…all 3 have Essex regs…good one Jamie.Heres todays bits. 
This old Buffalo seen on waste ground,Bedminster,Bristol.
Fresh outta the box is this Maggie at Canons Marsh,look at the other wagons overnighting,this place was heaving with lorries every night…sadly a sight that wont ever be repeated.

We chopped a Charles Alexander DAF up like that and made it into a sleeper cab, the window fitter struggled to get the screen to seal but otherwise it was a piece of ■■■■. Before we tagged the two bits together the day cab truck did two trips to Stanley Bull in Charlie Alexander colours. Someone must have seen it & taken a picture, even if only to prove the Brits are mad
oh ive shook Dennis cage again 
Cracking pics again Marc. Harry is going to like all those Scania’s,it’s a pity you haven’t got a few more smaller one’s for him to see when he returns from his holiday .
Cheers Dave.
Here’s one of mine for him
Apparently “all the drivers think very highly of them” 
hope these were of interest
Hello again,Dave I’ve ran out of the little 80s/81s…well the ones I took pics of,when I go into the box of clippings there may be a few more in there…Harry has a soft spot for them really.Tony…good stuff…I wont be here for most of next week so I’m relying on stuff like that to be put on while I’m not here
Getting very close to the end of these square pics,I didnt plan to put so many on…it was easier to look in the shoebox where they live and drag a few out.
Duckhams ERF seen at Aust services.
Looks like Mair Transport in the headboard.
Unknown MAN outside the dock gates in Avonmouth.
On display outside the local MAN dealers on an open day.
The last ones sister was there too.
Wheelers DAF 2800 seen in Avonmouth.
Tidy 400 Sed/Atk with a tank on.
SA commercials Hire motor.
Avon truck hire,a lot of their motors ended up with local hauliers when they got sold on,they were an offshoot of the local Volvo dealer at the time which was Heathfield Commercials.
Finally,I found this pic which is for Ben and Dennis,I love the Leyland tank on it. 
Hope these are ok.
Cheers Bubb,
Enjoy your break Marcus,don`t delay in coming back now, ya hear?

Just gotta love that Big J ad ‘Designed to Dominate’
and the Commer GTW in Cwt, I had to get the calculator out for that one.
Nice to see the photo of Charlie Poulters merc, I can remember seeing them round London, when I was down the docks with my Dad.
Hi Bubbleman,
Thanks for the Poulters Merc, its a Cracker,recognise the Sheets.
Cheers Ben.
Wasn’t it part of the Davis group out of the Highway?.They ran out of the docks quite a lot in the Sixties carrying everything. Regards,900X20.
