Nice picture that Jim. I think all LVs motors have the Silver Knight badge. A really nice looking traditional fleet. ( in my opinion ).

13403

Is Len Valser still going? I thought I saw somewhere that he had packed it in.

13404

Posted these on one of Bewicks threads earlier this year.There was quite a big write up in the Heritage Commercial Mag in june 2008 about Len Vasler on how he got started in transport through to owning his own fleet.Even the livery is similer to Bewicks.


13405

Yeah, their still going.

13406

We got to some strange places, not always abroad, delivering wine to East India club in London, in a cattle truck :smiley:

Stopped at home for coffee on way to Ireland via Swansea.

Loading the walk on boat in Waterford.

Some sales motors.

I wish I hadnt leant my pictures of the eighties to someone, as I havent got them back nor the Pentax camera :cry:

Its not exactly the best looking lorry in the world is it?.

13416

Oh those twin wheeled tri-axles, they didn’t protest much with full whack on in a tight turn did they! The Dennison builders obviously didn’t have a sheet metal bender in the inventory but somebody must have loved them, bless. Great pics keep it up, Franky.

13417

Looks like something the French would have turned out a few years ago.

If my memory serves me correctly the Dennison cabs were imported from Finland.Can’t prnounce the name but it was something like Siku ?Bewick.
