Yeh I’ve been after a photo of them for ages, not sure how many they had, I was after the advertisement from either commercial motor or motor transport, but that photo is great, there was also two in white in just juice livery so I can only keep my fingers crossed, if anybody has any glyn John or Ely transport they’re all gratefully received, cheers Steve

Hi Guy’s, (not the 240 big j type 
)
Seeing that Entress Lorry here reminded me of a funny occurrence in my life many years ago (pre h.g.v.) I went on a course to Romford Essex at Ford Motor co. (my w’shop days) i would have been around 19 or so and not much travelled outside west wales!, where on my homeward bound journey i was a little lost and happened to see an Entress Swansea truck.
Recognising the Haulier i had an Idea that if i followed it i would get back to the M4 and bingo i would be o.k., imagine my dilema when after an hour and a half the lorry terminates it’s journey…in…Oxford! 
Lesson learnt!!!
E.w.
