After a few years it's clear my brother is not able to restore the FWD. Time and other personal problems

If someone knows a new good owner for the FWD Su Coe, radartrailer and dolly, please contact me. These vehicles would be a unique combination, that should be preserved.

Cheers

There are photos in my book of Pearsons of Liverpool, having been assembled by them and I have found some photos of three or so in Chipperfields Circus livery.

Hopefully this FWD and trailer will find a new owner to restore the combination. Not the easiest of restorations due to the size of the truck, its wooden framed cab and large petrol engine. I took it upon myself to try and record as many of the su-coes as I could and now have details of nearly 200. No doubt there are many more.....Im still finding new ones. In the UK at least 5 are undergoing restoration. I may be possible that one of them makes its public appearance towards the end of 2010
