Dave that is my uncle’s one. Though no longer as he has retired this year. As did my Dad.
They have kept the 58 plate in photo but sold my Dad’s 52 plate. So only one vehicle on road now. When I was a kid had 8 on road that was 80’s
My Dad left school on a Friday at the age of 15. Started at WLR Gwilts on the following Monday. And retired at 66 years old…51 years. And Mr Gwilt still alive when he retired at 99 years old. Don’t think that happens much these days. Unfortunately Mr Gwilt died later this year.
They are about the same age as me then Wayne. My Dad drove for the same firm Passey Nott from Kington for 40+ years including WW2 service. They delivered animal feeds. Your Dad or your Uncle would probably remember them.
Cheers Dave.

This thread has been stretched to post pictures of all types of lorries over a wide area.
Here’s one of the first lists of Mid Wales Hauliers and Welsh Border haulage firms which I put on six years ago. We now have a lot more from the area, and I am grateful to all the people who have lent me photo’s over the years.
Cheers Dave.

A n ERF eight legger chassis cab of W L R Gwilt of Baschurch,Shropshire,seen at Conod’s at Barons Cross garage,Leominster.

Hello Dave and Wane , yes it would be good to see those pictures talking of Bedfords i can remeber they had a TM or two , thank you Trevor
Hi Trevor had a TM yes on a v plate. Rusty old thing. Dad said in 1977 he had one on demo from greenhouses Shrewsbury had Detroit in it they hired a trailer from cadwalladers for it. Think he was gutted never bought him that. He got a 6 wheeler B Series ERF instead
