What year would that shot have been taken ? mid late 50’ perhaps ? Great shot though of a motor belonging to a fine Haulier and I was privledged to have known them during the time I was running into S.Wales on the Brady Octopus in the late 60’s,Gwynne Bowen was always our first choice to reload for the North West and nine times out of ten they did, great outfit happy days !
