One of Foulkes Scania’s Trev H (RIP) worked on when employed by B+W Motors at Wolverhampton
UVP 40H was supplied to James Hare of Kings Norton.
It arrived with its York/Welford tandem tipper in primer.
Jimmy painted the whole thing at Sturge Chemicals at Lifford.
I never went to B+W while they where in Wolverhampton but paid a number of visits after they had moved to Pensnett
