Hi Guys.
For those who think Sevens are quaint (not us of course) try driving one of the 'tramocars' tootling along the undercliff in Bournemouth. Tiller steering, side mounted engine, solid tyres and transmission brake are just a few thills for the driver piloting one of those Shelvoke and Drewry Freighters, more commonly known for their ullustrious(?) dust carts. Bournemouth Corporation Transport was always known to keep their fleet running well into old age - where else could you take a ride in a bright yellow open top trolley bus with quite spectacular free lightening show, delightful on a warm summer evening. Ah holiday memories!
H & S would insist on hard hat, face mask ,fireproof suit, safety boots and gloves +++, just to get on the trolley bus nowdays.
And now back to the subject of original advertising.
