I think t g Phillips finished in 1980, he hadn’t long put an atky on the road, and it was on a t plate he also had E.R.F.s and Seddon Atkinson.

He also had a few nice Fodens , one would regularly be seen tipping at Metal Box Worcester . regards kk

Great photos Daibootsy.
Many years ago, before the by-pass you would pass Trevor Phillip’s yard heading out of Swansea back up the A470 Heads of the Valley to Rhymney.
As a kid that yard was a highlight of the trip, and then passing Abernant Transports motors on them long slow hills.

Regards Paul…
