The fall and rise of Bellgate. The next link takes you to the original livery and history of the fleet.

Hopefully these will be memories for someone!
I had a weekend in Tilly’s with a bloke who had a motor similar to this, it may have even been this one, the bloke’s name was Neal and he was from Dumfries ish.
ETA There should be a pic of the Interland 143 with this, that is what I’m referring too
While I’m here, that 112 Topline, I remember talking to a bloke on a boat going to Belfast about him smashing his motor up when he hit a car transporter up the arse, he said they toplined it, maybe the same bloke? Never saw the motor though as we were in the bar
Ken Hogger Snr had a 112 recabbed with a Topline cab too, but IIRC that was an early 112 and a 6x2

hiya,
Never did International work but have worked for companies that did namely Bowkers, just wondering did any of you guys ever come across a great pal of mine from my days at Bowkers about 40 years ago, his name Jack Leach, i believe he went on to work for Woodside Bros but i know he did Continental work for a lot of years certainly from the 60s should imagine he’ll be retired now will be in his early 70s just a bit younger than me, thanks in advance for any information.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry, as you say, he left Bowker to work for Woodside. However, I heard that Jack had died in an accident some time ago, I think whilst driving a Woodside’s motor. As I recall, it was at a junction off the M25, perhaps the M25/M1 junction. This was all secondhand info, so may not be accurate.
