The thinking was that the yellow Transcon above was ex LC Lewis of Gwent, but after extensive research [looking in a book] it seems its one number out from LC Lewis’ 6x4 Transcon GVX 492T, I’m guessing they both started life in Fords own fleet, Tony may know more…
492 was advertised in one of the mags about a year ago, I think it was Ebbw Vale area. Plated at 80ton, originally owned by Ford Motor Co.
