Not a problem Keith. I'm led to believe the bodies on these vehicles were designed to be easily removed and replaced with freight carrying bodies, thereby multiplying their earning potential. Good thinking I would call that.

how times have changed 12MPH

Harry Mason who had a coal bagging business had one of these. He ran trips at weekend and put the coal lorry base on during the week.

I noticed the top speed painted on the door...12mph !
Great photo, happy people.

No one's wearing seat belts......before you all have a go at me...I'm only joking.

They don't need seat belts Garry, have you seen how many people they've managed to cram in there? I'll bet they had to use a crowbar to ' sprise ' the doors closed. Just had to get my word of the month in there somewhere.

That will be like riding on a plank, solid tyres! No wonder it's 12 MPH.
