yes chris he certainly was a character, my dad told me a few tales about him. then you had his brother! a character from john raymonds was Mad Al, he was as crazy as they come! got fed of being messed about by a security gaurd on one drop and ended up reversing the trailer through the gates! you dont get them like that anymore.
hello dennis mate,how are you?as i am only 45 years old i am too young to remember will. hallās from heol-y-cyw.what would be in that seddon? roller,gardner or perkins i donāt know,however my good mate dai davies will tell me as he is a real fountain of south wales transport knowledge.
here is another of daiās gemās,taken in the stockyard in port talbot,the remains of a mickey mouse foden that had a slight wiring fault.bet that was some blaze with a fibre glass cab!

Hiya Andrew you young wipper snapper !! in the absence of further information I would think the Seddon might have had either the AEC 7.7 or the Leyland 375 engine and the Moss G/box & Moss axle !! But as I was only a lad at the time and you were still a ātwinkleā I will defer to the older members opinion .Cheers Dennis.

hiya,
