A LAD cabbed Leyland Comet artic with four in line trailer of R & B Transport,seen in the 1960’s.Hi Dave , what a stunner ! Thats must be vincent Greenhaus Lyde .
That Comet would do quarry work by day and steel at night from Margham . Regards KeithI was trying to work out where that was Keith. As you say it must be Lyde, but I couldn’t think what a Leyland would be doing there. Vincent Greenhouse were Bedford dealers. Were they also Leyland dealers ? I have been there enough of times, but forget.
Cheers Dave.Hi Dave , not really sure that they were Leyland dealers as well . Back in those in the Hereford area for Leyland , and AEC it was Carmichael at Worcester or Watts down at Lydney . regards Keith
I think I can confirm that Vincent Greenhous only did Bedfords at Lyde. They were the local Vauxhall dealers, too, but I’m blowed if I can remember where the car showroom was. Their main Bedford depot was in Shrewsbury where, in the dim and distant past they built bodies- platform and livestock- for other makes besides Bedfords.
Their car showroom and workshop was in Blackfriar Street at the back of the old cattle market in Hereford Casey. I bought a new Vauxhall Cavalier 2 litre mk3 off them in 1989.
Hello dave,
I only ever bought one new car in my life and that was a cavalier from greenhous at hereford,the salesman was a pleasant chap by the name of jim sisley iirc,lost so much on depreciation i said after that there would be no more new ones for me. regards graham.Cheers Dave.
The only connection I can see is,that Bedford used to fit Leyland engines in some of TKs,the vehicle may of been there to have something done to its engine? The Bedford TK that Tom Henderson used to use to tow his low loader/ steam engine (Pride of Wye)had a Leyland 400 engine in it.
Regards Jack.Hi Jack,
Jack Jones of Unicorn Transport from Weobley, ran a Bedford TK with a Leyland engine in it.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Graham,
I have bought eight new vehicles over the years, the last being my 06 Sprinter,and to be fair they have all been OK. I did buy the first Cavalier,seen above from Greenhouse at Hereford,and then went onto buying another from Ludlow motors followed by a Vectra in 1998. he only new vehicle that I had a bit of trouble with was D plate Ford ■■■■■■ 1.6 estate which had a cambelt go at 26,000, but all the resst have been good.
Cheers Dave.

I’m going to hibernate. Give me a shout around the end of March if you will.
On the subject of cars in general and Vauxhalls in particular I was well pleased with the N-reg Cavalier I had. Fairly comfortable and completely reliable with it’s 1.7-litre Japanese diesel. The only downside was the tiny turbocharger that only did what it was supposed to do between 1700 and 1800 revs.

Hi Casey,
I had three Cavalier’s 2.0i petrol engines,also a Vectra 2.0i petrol. Never had any trouble with any of them.
One of the Cavalier’s I did 132,000 miles with and it was going well when I sold it.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Dave, many moons ago I bought an ex-police car via an auction, mechanically and
bodily sound but the interior back seat area was a right mess splits and holes in
the rear seats where the arrestees had gone off it when being taken in did manage
to get a decent interior from a scrapper but I lost out on that one.
thanks harry, long retired.

A bit like this van which I bought a couple of months ago Harry. I think a Badger had it on lease before I bought it. The inside has scratches everywhere.
Cheers Dave.
