Does anyone know any of the English driver’s that worked for Wim Vos?

I used to see some of them regularly weekending at Carisio and had a beer or two with them,but for the life of me I can’t remember any names.

Don’t know any up to date ino on Wim Voss.
30 odd years ago when I was on M/E I applied for several jobs for firms doing it,including Wim Voss,they used to have a depot in Chester I believe.
By the time I got an offer from them I had a job I was happy with.

This must have been sold on Pete, but these were the norm in Holland. A lot of subbies in the UK used F7 for the weights.

I asked elsewhere if anyone had any pictures of Graham Gardners Mercedes, he ran some in Orange and the rest were in Wim Vos livery.
