One of C M Philpotts Renaults pictured in the yard at Kington,these came after I drove for him.That’s a Gloucestershire reg on that Renault Dave unless I’m wrong.
Hi John,
A bit more info. I have just given Andrew his pics back,asked him about the Renaults,they were bought from Cheltenham Commercials,hence the Gloucester reg. Two were Renaults,the third which I thought when speaking to him last week was a Berliet,same cab,just badged different.
Cheers Dave.

Yeah thanks for that Dave, I should have thought about it as you said there wern’t too many main dealers down your way then, the old Renault looks good It’s a love or hate thing with them, I drove a few of them and loved them.
cheers
John.
Here’s an ERF parked in a barn,plenty of sstrw in there to bed it down,this pic was taken at Chirbury Shropshire.
Sorry Vicar, but I don’t bloody like sundays. The lorries are in the yards all washed and clean,but the gates are locked and no one is around,and this thick prat takes his good lady out to take pics. Rant over.

TIPIT:
Hi Dave,
Just come across a couple of good old Welsh lorries for your thread, do you remember seeing these on any of your travels.
And the ones I was trying to remember a few months back.
Enjoying this thread very much, some great scenery as well, I’ll have to make time to visit the area myself again.

Hi Paul,
Just looking back through the thread, then saw this one. This is the same ERF as seen last Sunday.
Cheers Dave
Thanks for tracking that one down Dave, nice to see it’s still around.
I wonder how much would have to be spent on it to get it looking respectable again.

H Paul,
If you are along that way,its in their yard,right by the side of the main road.It probably wouldn’t take as much as some other makes to restore,with having a fibre glass cab,but then again, I don’t know much about restoration and costs etc.
Cheers Dave.

Cheers Dave.
