Hello Dai , Now they were a regular site delivering to the well heeled in the Vale of Glamorgan !.. especially Cowbridge in particular … Now it is more likely to be John Lewis but with not such interesting vehicles …Geraint .

Great shot of the Wynns Atki Dai I wonder if it is in preservation ? Now this motor would be a far better project for Mr. Cooper,a proper motor !!Cheers Dennis.

Hi Dennis,
How are you mate? I agree,the Atki is an iconic motor.that particular vehicle is a lot nearer to you than us in Wales.these days she is a part of the classic cadzow heavy haulage fleet based in East Kilbride?
Regards andrew.

The Cadzow motor is HBO 753N, I think?
