Evening all, numbum, that Parsons Big J brings back a few memories. Their Guys were always up and down the A4, scrap, and coal. The once haulage only business diversified into vehicle distribution,and component supplies, specialising in air brake parts The sons, all Directors of the various bits, Ken, Antoney, and Leonard, ended up falling out I believe.
Leonard headed up the very succesfull Magirus Deutz agency that the family ran, (one of Magirus`s most succesfull outlets) The Parsons brake parts suppliers, a nationally based company had the other two sons and Alberts widow in control.
What happened in the end, does anybody know? I presume the Magirus Dealership went with the advent of IVECO, but what of the parts business? Leonard moved a lot of Magirus chassis into the West Country.
They used to operate from the old Mill at Coxley, just outside Wells, (right nasty little turn over a stone bridge to get in).
Who was the Guy Distributor down there who sold so many chassis, not only Parsons, Michael Fowler, Jack Light, plus lots in the Mendip Quarries? Thanks for the memories, Cheerio for now.

The only Guy dealer I remember was Harris Commercials in Fishponds Road Bristol. It’s a tile place now but I can picture the New Guy Chassis lined up there evey time I pass the place.

Hello Phil
Good to see the TIR training vehicles on here mate, Thanks for posting the picture. Me & two of my brothers trained for our Class 1 with them back in 1978/9 thereabouts, Mel & Viv only had a couple of old TK Bedford units then. Lovely people.

Hi again,good pics Dai…thanks for sharing them,heres another bunch from me,Cheers Bubbs,
Dobsons of Edinburgh - I forgot about them (didn’t they have a tanker fleet?) I know they shared a yard down our way with the Ryland vehicle group (Sudden Accident dealers) in fact they could have been part of that group (sorry I’m guessing now) anyways, that yard and building is now dust and tumbleweeds

Hi mate,
No very different,I’m pretty sure the Mastiff and the later Super Mastiff had the Perkins 540,Fuller nine speed and Albion light weight back end.
Where as the Harrier had the bigger Perkins 640,13 speed Fuller and Rockwell back end.
They were an Aussie ‘Special’ also available as an 8x4.

Hi Hayday,
Yes Dobsons did run tankers, as I remember Hoyer purchasing a number of acid barrels from them in around 1989 and I too think they may have been part of Ryland.
