Anyone got a picture of S S Bayliss from Wrexham? He used to run an ancient MAN about 12 years ago, think he was based near the back of the (Wrexham) industrial estate.
S S Bayliss had 2 MANs think it was 1978 when he bought them, as i remember going to his sons birthday party and climbing all over them when they got back to the yard :smiley: as at the time my old man had an A Series ERF for BRS, so a couple of sleeper cab MANs made for some very happy 9yr old truck nuts
I was talking to the son Adrian just before i moved out to Canada, his dad still has one of them parked in the barn at the yard, sure he said one was secondhand by a few months when his dad bought them, but its the one he had brand new which he still has, its almost 3yrs ago since i left but they had 2 Renault Magnums in red at the time, sorry no pics only fond memories of the 2 trucks from nearly 34 yrs ago didn`t think i was that old

Hi, yes remember them all, The atki, Iam not sure, Hutch lived ner the Tiv,so would not have been close to his house,I heard he passed away suddenly?, a couple of years ago.
Re Joe Wilson, I used to be in school with a lad (Tony?) who used to ride in those trucks, when I was at school and went to Shones yard after school to help out…H&S would not allow it now!
I know Hutch’s brother had trucks also, who was the chap who had a Scania 110 from near the school?, I remember the garage (Reynolds?) on the common used to repair trucks.
