David,
The link to the contents doesn't work. It needs a . after www.
Maybe you can amend.

The # 12 Cab CGT was supposedly the first vehicle assembled at Cuerden Mill, Bamber Bridge, near Preston, Lancashire which would have been May? 1941. The old woollen mill was taken over by General Motors Ltd.

Default Pearsons book

Just like to say I have now seen it and the photographs as well as the quality of printing are absolutely outstanding!

My favourites are the post-war conversions of the C8 cab 12s into vans, including a most unlikely woodie and ice cream van.

David,

The book arrived yesterday. Wow, excellent work! Lots of large size, large resolution pictures of interesting vehicles.
It will get a nice spot next to the books of Nigel Watson and the publications of Bart VanderVeen!

Default Alan Earnshaw, RIP

It is with the deepest regret that I have to inform you that my boss, my friend, my co-author, Alan Earnshaw passed away peacefully last night after a long illness.
