LR Man:
Hello Jacko, here is another picture of a Bakers MAN, ROW 205M. This one was driven by my uncle Phil Dibden. I think this picture was taken at Romsey carnival with me and my cousin getting in the way of the MAN!

…
Hello LR Man
Thanks for posting the photo of ROW 205M.I hope that answers my question about Eric Baker buying this lorry from new and selling later to HRS Transport.



I think im right in saying ROW 205M on the left and ROW 207M on the right’
Regards Jacko
