That truck was cut up with in weeks of sutcliffe been found guilty etc, I new alad who worked at the same company as sutcliffe and he said it was cut up and crushed??
Isn’t JAR53N a BRS restoration? Sure I e seen it on here, doesn’t the chap who owns it have a few transcons that have been in the mags? A White one with blue stripes and a yellow one too? I’m probably wrong.

that is simply stunning!
Does anyone have any pics of my favourite transcon belonging to HELMARK of manchester?
It was black cab with a horizontal gold band through the cab: simple but a really well turned out grafter! Any pics would be fantastic, thank you harry.

Ken, I saw this heading for Turkey after you sold it, it still looked a tidy beast, when I first saw it I thought you’d started going over the water again, then I see the scruffy git driving it and knew it couldn’t be one of your drivers 
Found pic on Bubblemans Scrapbook of AFB 421 V in Taunton Meat livery , on page 148
Thanks for the history shame about FWC I Have about 90 uk regs for transcons and sadly its not one of the pics

Just by looking on here , & at various picture sites have came up with 180 or thereabouts UK Registrations , now trying to put them in year order , although some may be doubled up when issued with a Q Plate
