❤ wiganworld - Wigan Album, Wigan Speedway I used to knock about with one of his sons / nephews (can’t remember which) in the mid 60’s.I remember that there were always piles of old speedway tyres along with the old HGV ones.
From the above;…“Oliver rode on several occasions as part of the England team between 1948 & 1951 and also qualified in 1949 for the World Speedway Championship final in 1936 as a reserve.
Both he and his brother Ron were speedway riders and I am told Oliver founded a substantial fleet of trucks and heavy transport known as Hart & Sons transport, some redesigning of these trucks by Oliver enabled heavier loads to be carried. As an ex-speedway rider he was not alone in turning to transport it would seem that many did, including riders Ron Clarke & Ron Mason.”
