Hi Steve,
She’s getting there slowly…thanks for asking.
You know when a vehicle needs replacing when its starts costing money mate.
Be nice to see it when it arrives Steve…get some pics on of her…not sure what the unladen weight is but know it can carry a ton and a half pay load.

Yes always busy with us Steve they are trying to get everything out before Christmas mate…same with you I would of thought Steve ?

Hi marktaff, Thank you for your comments on the F.C.Morgan Albion. You mentioned S.&.R. Smyth removals in
your reply, I am R.Smyth, but no relation to that company, however I remember them well, their depository was
on Park Road, and they had an office,shop on Aigburth Road, both locations very close to my last school, which
was Toxteth Technical School. In their shop window they had a model of a Bedford coachbuilt removal van, which
was about 2 feet long. Have a look on page 31 of this thread, and there you will see 2 pictures of S.&.R. Smyth vans.
I would be keen to see more pictures of their vans. Kind Regards, Ray Smyth.

hi mark and steve. merry Christmas to you have a good one lads i have now finished cheers

Hello to all you removal chaps. I think that I posted this picture on here a while back.
Do any of you remember Percy Powell Transport from Horndean, near Portsmouth ?
I would like to find other pictures of this Bedford TK. Percy Powell Transport became
part of Robert Baillie Transport in 1970, so the appearance of JRV 300F would have
changed soon after takeover. Kind Regards, Ray Smyth.
