Have you had the time or any luck asking your cousin over vehicle colours or pics.
Cheers

He has no pics but said the wagon's cabs were a maroon colour.
Martindale were dark blue. I "think" Melias were cream.Quote:

Also another firm who delivered beer, called Armstrongs had an open back wagon with a rigid tailboard which displayed an arm clutching a dagger on the back.
Thanks for the photo i used to stand on that corner all night with my mates no matter what the weather.
I was interested to read about lorries with a figure in full Indian headdress. It sounds very much like vehicles built by 'Guy.' I am a huge fan of buses and know that Guy also made lorries. I saw a Guy Arab bus at a show in Essex last week and just happened to take a photo of the mascot. I shall post a photo of it here and perhaps it will jog the memory of the original poster. I think that it might originally have had a brassy effect and that the colours were added later.
Just asked my father about Blacklers vehicles - he was Mrs Blacklers Godson and he seems to remember them being predominantly green with either some yellow or some black.Quote:
