Hi All,
I called over to Kelsan Transport’s yard earlier today,still an odd feeling for me,not seeing Kelvin at work in the yard anymore.Though the good news is that his widow Sandra and trusted long standing Kelsan driver Ken have continued to grow the business and take it from strength to strength since Kelvin sadly passed away in July,R.I.P. mate there’s not a day goes by that i don’t think of you and all that we did together over the years.

Hi all,
This freighter was bought new in 1983 by a family friend,the late Gordon Swain.His eldest son Shaun is well known on the classic road run restoration circuit.This is a fairly recent photo and it has to be one of the lowest mileage one owner Leyland Freighter’s that I know of.i think I painted it when brand new? I recall putting a pair of K&J Withey mud flaps on it.
