Anyone remember a Promotor driver, called Graham ?, but known as “Blue”? He was in his 60’s when I used to see him (early 1990’s). I think he lived in Maidstone, his 2nd missus was a lot younger than him. Short, thinset, smoked roll-ups! (him, not his missus!). Smashing bloke, did all over including M/E, gave me a lot of sound advice when I started over the water. TIMBO, I’ve pm’d you.
brookie.
This was me tipping at an exhibition in Teheran,with a Pro Motor step frame when working for Expo Freight in 1983.

would this be the same promotor, that had a yard up childerditch lane, warley, some time in the 90’s?
reference, the 111, “foo”
i’m sure when i was a kid, and went out, fridays after school in a wagon, that cp ships/tracto, had a 111 scania, with the reg, foo 161t.
i could be wrong?

Hi brookie, it sounds like the guy who I was making enquiries about this time last year. If it is then it’s Graham Bertram who was a really nice old fella. If you look at page one of this thread there is something about Graham on there. 
Thanks mushroomman,
I should’ve read page 1 
! Yep, sounds like it may have been him, a real easy-going fella. Sorry to hear he’s passed away. A shame he could’nt share his many memories with us on here. R.I.P Graham.
Regards,
Mark. (brookie)
Going through your list of drivers TIMBO, reminds me of one of the Promotor drivers. I think that it must have been Mick Mitchell. I ran with him down through Yugo 75/75 and was amazed at the amount of beer he consumed (and I mean whilst he was driving!). He kept pulling over to buy more beer. I seem to recall he had a Scandinavian wife…possibly Norwegian. My girlfriend was Swedish and they seemed to hit it off. Sorry to hear that he has passed away. Alcoholic poisoning

Childerditch was the engineering workshops for Pro-Motor but was by that time owned by Ontime Automotive. They prepared a lot of vehicles for exhibitions and shows.
The registration was the Essex number from that area. Many will remember Roger Albert Clark, Mikkola and Waldegard with the ■■■ and OOO registrations

Yea, I did a motor show in Brno, Czech, in 1994, he and two other Promotor lads were there and we had a week on it, all three lads were top notch.
