Hi all. Andrew, PLEX Freight was Part Location Express iirc with transits painted dark red/rust and yellow.
I am fairly sure it was part of Vaughns of Bridgend. If so I remember a few heated conversations with the owner.
They rented from us at Gullivers often.

Once again great photo’s being posted.

Regards Paul.

“Pardon me boy,is this the Chatanooga Choo Choo?”
“Track 29”,
“Boy,you can give me shine”.

Aye,I’m as old as that,but it was good music.

A great pic of P M REES finest seddon , all his units are plain white now & I think all the ERF’s are on their second lease of life in a 3rd world country by now.

hiya,
I’ve often wondered what percentage of end of life British lorries end up
with a new lease of life in foreign climes, once saw an ex Beresfords ERF
still lettered up and even British reg plates being used as a circus motor
on Majorca many moons ago it was driven by a young Scots lassie who was
an animal trainer with the outfit when not driving from place to place.
thanks harry, long retired.
