Hi all,
Dean Thank you for the old Ebbw Vale photo.Here are a couple of welsh motors,from a few years back.my old F16 at The Stockyard Truckstop and a Renault Magnum from a Monex subbie in France …
Hi all,
A few classic welsh lorries here.A Glyn John Transport Transcon,A Welsh International F86 and finally a shot I watched being taken and was used in the VOLVO truck brochure back in 1974.The driver of GHB 547N was Bob Saunders,he sadly passed away last Saturday at his home in Spain.
Hello Andrew, sorry to hear about Bob`s passing, the last time I met him he was running the café in Bryngarw Park. Another one bites the dust.
Best wishes, Mike
Heres a J & M Transcon.

Morning Andrew.
Best bitters son is called Adrian and would be about 61.
He is involved with the porthcawl life boat.i am sure Billy best bitter lived around st davids way.
There was a another old time driver in porthcawl that i can just remember[dennis turton]aka yorkie.
Old hands and perhaps your dad would know early 60,s he drove a 8 wheeler out of the abbey works and a mini with 3 lads in it were flying towards him on the wrong side of the road .it ended up carnage and they all lost their life.
It was not his fault.
The peter, chris 143 is on about was in the driving school.

Hello Dai,
Thanks for that information.You are a Welsh BRS specialist.
Can anyone on this thread remember Parffits IIRC Was the name of a famous S Wales haulage firm, Smiles for Miles used to load them with fire bricks from Henery Fosters at Backworth when they were in the Newcastle area with their return load to Britton Ferry steel works in the 50/60s days,Regards Larry.
Hi Larry
If I remember correctly Parfitts were a well established firm based in Ebbw Vale
