Hello gang,heres a few more cuttings,Cheers Bubbs,Great pics as always Marcus
and can anybody tell me anything about that photo of the Wolpertinger Express Volvo.
Regards Steve
Hi, this was owned by Chris Turnbull, a husband and wife owner driver team, they did regular UK to Southern Germany/Austria area for Davies Turner mainly I think. I used to work for Dawsonfreight and their Volvo’s were supplied and serviced by us when they were in the UK. They always had top spec left hookers which were always spotless. I cant remember where they were based but they were a really nice couple, don’t know if they are still operating, I left Dawsons in 2000 and left the road haulage game so I’m a bit out of touch now. Here are some pics of their earlier Volvo’s.

Bit of a mix-match, guess this is what happens when a customer insists on having their name on your wagon 
Here,s an old advert from 1988

Does any body know if any of Bulmers Bedford KMs had Detriot engines ? regards Keith .
Don’t know for sure- Dave will- but I think they had 466 Bedfords.
Probably wrong, as usual!

Did’nt the detroit KM’S have a deeper front bumper with a chequer plate pattern?

That is something I don’t know Casey. I can ask Cannonball who worked for Bulmers when I next see him.
Cheers Dave.
My trusty old F10, about 1981, Trucklink commercials, John Brown , Pent Browns son, was on for MAT with her, good old days. Oh, and thats not my mk IV cortina by the way.

Cheers Gary, I didn’t know that, I,m going to Freightliner @ Wentloog Wed, Thurs & Friday next week so i’ll ask some of the drivers if they are still around. By the way, going to Gaydon tomorrow, might bump into Platty there !!
Here’s a mixed bunch from my scrapbooks, starting with Bedford, Leyland, DAF, Guy, Berliet. Renault and Maggie. regards prattman.
Prattman… thanks for the last selection …what a thrill it was to see my lorry among the Renaults if you look at the Commercial Motor thread at the top of you,ll see the cert from the 1980 show (it did,nt win first prize because the interior of the cab was left delivery yellow ) it was chassis No 8 and the first of that model on the road would you be able to scan and email if I sent a PM
all the best
