Thatā€™ so sad. Last time I saw Steve was early 1980s, both loading Fishmeal out of Sharpness docks. I was envying his new Daf 3600 ( me in the old B-series with 265 RR.)
He told me it wasnā€™t as good as he had expected it to be, whereupon I offered to drive it for him. He told me I was too old & too ugly to drive for Maguireā€™s!

Sad news,
I was very friendly with Steve for the last thirty years.
He started hauling for Oldacers, in Bishops Cleve with a new Volvo F10 + tipping trailer.
I was hauling animal feed from Oldacers, which we were selling in the Llandovery area.
I had a new Volvo F10 in Aug 1978. When I went to Oldacers with it, Steve liked it so much after driving it around the yard. He soon bought his first new lorry - a Volvo F10.
After they ended their haulage business, - Steve went into selling lorry models online and in the truck shows. He was always in the Carmarthen Truck Show with his van - and stand.
R.I.P. Steve ā€” from Hywel.

Got you Graham I never did know where they were from, for some reson I thought Bishops Cleeve donā€™t know why. So the Cheltenham bit was maybe an office.

They had some great looking motors (Iā€™ve got one, a Corgi 1:50 of something, in the loft), but wasnā€™t the money a bit poor?
