Tom ran 16 of these, all identical with bodies by Northern Coachworks Consett, when he sold out to P & O . We bought two of them from Tom and painted in our livery,. They were quite old but as Tom maintained to excellent standards.The main problem we had was they were just not high enough inside to carry many of our loads & this and because of age only survived with us for about 2 years. Tom worked with P& O for over a year, but it didn’t work out and spent his time building a new bungalow for himself and his wife as his origional sold to P & O and converted into offices, Not able to settle he then bought Lewins Removals from Consett until he sadly passed away
