Another from m4dogwalker,I had no idea :exclamation: that mansel davies had ever ran an man :question: shows how little I know :laughing:

Hi Pete 359
Very interesting to see the different vehicles that Mansel Davies has run over the years, however would you have a photo of that F86 that’s following the MAN. My father drove one for years at a coal yard in Brynamman and we have no photos so are always on the lookout!!

Hello Smallcoal,
It is not a Mandator.- It’s a Beaver, with a Leyland fuel tank and rear axle.
There is a 680 engine under the cab. - Can you tell us the reg No ?
regards - Hywel.
