Trevor Starkes is still running a stunning looking 143 Topline tag. White and pale blue colour. Normally seen with a Fowler Welch fridge on the back. There is a pic of it floating around on TN somewhere.

Hi Robert, amazing if this is true: this picture looks very much like a 141 I used to see in my hometown as a young lad, it was owned by a chap called tony smith who was an owner driver and his 141 was a belter. I could be hugely wrong here but I’m hoping that this picture is of Tony’s truck many moons before he bought it?

It was the livery which initially got me thinking, could it be that tony retained this ‘look’ I wonder?

I know tony is on here, hope he doesn’t mind me posting his truck up here:

I do remember seeing this truck in France around the mid '80’s…

BTW I still have one of those French novelty plates (Jeannot) . Obviously with my own name on it… :slight_smile:
