I don’t know if it is there Ramone, but you’re probably thinking of Filtrona on Bedesway in Jarrow IIRC? used to load out of there for their place at Treviso or that area anyway

Never seen one of those, looks a bit like a Seddon cab.

It does doesn’t it, like a cross between the Seddon 13/4 & the old model Hino front panel.
