Punchy Dan Shame on you, that is one of Pearsons of Coventrys motors carrying coke I think. John Pearson would give you the full run down on that motor that I think they ran into the mid 80’s

Quality pic Dan, haven’t seen them since they finished in the late 80s.
From st Ives road, they were mainly an all 4 wheeler TKs KMs & TM fleet. Think they had 1 or 2 arctics before they finished on east leake & barrow plasterboard job.
