Chris 143,s father Ron Evans had 1 brand new and the Model Maker.Owen edmunds.
He left to work for Wenault in cardiff to drive a big Daf but had a restart down the line.

I took this photo at Pembroke Dock in july 1985.
Often saw this motor in cutlers heights lane Bradford tipping tinplate from that works outside Velindre steel works across the road from jr steels.[afon works?]
They hauled hay and straw,caravans from Hull etc.
I believe their units were for sale at scania,s crosshands early 90,s but restarted later on.
Just to say great job on that Waters unit.
