W J Rickards Volvo

Bit of a bump up here but the old girl is still going, followed her off Jct 9 onto the A34 on Thursday evening. Was struggling a bit under a load of bricks but nice to see.

Walter Rickard drove this Ford until 1999

It was only taken off the road when he got rear-ended -

IIRC He has been in business for 63 years!

Saw a green Volvo 4 wheel flatbed today.W J Rickards above the cab.
The registration began A319, is this 1983?
Interestingly the driver was attired in a sports jacket and tie.

Hi
There is Volvo running around of that era with a smart old boy at the wheel with a flat cap often seen tipping in Winchester
My girl took a bad picture of it on her phone i will try 2 put it on some day
Bye

A reg is 1983 I think,so that means its celebrating its 28th birthday…who said"those foriegn lorries…they’ll never last!!"
