Birmingham and black country firms

brookie:

There’s one for you from the 70’s, Lloyds of Birmingham Overland (LOBO), my mate Del Martin drove for them doing M/E, it’s one of his pics. Haven’t got a clue whereabouts in Brum they were, he lived in Sussex (still does) and used to drive up to collect the motor each trip. I hope the pic jogs some memories!.

Regards,

Mark.

I remember this firm they done middle east the same time I was over there, me and my mate
Terry northwood he showed me the rops.

My mate Ronnie Slater (depression) used to work for RK Crisp & drove a Big J on M/E unsure if it’s this one though.
