Hi Andrew,
That moter sure looks as if it got hot as you say, I’m surprised the front tyres never burst with that heat.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Andrew,
Great pics once again,you must have one hell of a collection of South Wales hauliers albums,its a real treat to see all those wagons from those days,also from long gone fleets.
Cheers Dave.

thanks dave it’s great to have all the positive feedback.my good mate alun griffiths’ 141 was i think? his first scania,he bought many after this one,she’s seen here outside joint motorways during the 80’s when it was owned by paul? who owned amman valley transport and pulled steel out of the abbey,this 141 replaced paul’s borderer.
