Interesting stuff Dean ,advertisers must be the biggest bullers in the world ! I wonder what an original suitcase would be worth?

Did you ever see a suitcase Paul, we had a fleet of them but I never saw any cases? The distance lads would have found them handy. Maybe they ‘fell out of the cabs’ at North Riding Garages who supplied them? Edited to say that I see the advert is from 1968, we didn’t have any until 1971/72 so maybe they had been discontinued by that time? We did have a large collection of starting handles though!

Pete.

No Pete not even a photo, you’d imagine they’d be worth a bob or two, starting handles ? 5 for a quid !!

Clive Watson transport was from Rugeley Staffs, they took over by Renwicks freight, the yellow firm with a pic of a beaver on cab, that didn’t last too long. Watsons transport manager now works for Stan Robinson at the Stafford HQ, Cheer’s Pete
