Another Adventure THIS EVENT HAS NOW TAKEN PLACE .. READ CONCLUSIONS HERE ! The Vehicle DXK 851 This 3 ton lorry was new to the Post Office Telephones as a pole carrier working in the Bedford area. It was one of 6 with consecutive numbers DXK846 - 51, this being the last, fleet number UD7261. It can be assumed that it stayed with them until 1951/2 but what happened to or where it had been until around 1975/6 is still a mystery. I purchased it in 1980 ( my name is John Pomeroy ) and dry stored it until 1997 when serious work started to ‘rebuild’ it retaining as much as the original as possible. It was never intended as a ‘restoration project’, but to create a working, local carriers’ lorry as I remember them in the early /middle fifties plying their trade in the Salisbury (Wiltshire) markets and surrounding villages. Around 2000 hours in 21 months saw the project operational as I had a dead line of the 10th August 1999, the start in London of the Albion Centenary Road Run, a once in a life time event, to the site of the old factory in South St, Scotstoun, Glasgow and then the Albion Rally at Biggar, the birthplace of the Albion Motor Co. on 31st December 1899 The return journey took in John O’ Groat’s to Lands End which accomplished without ‘missing a beat’, driven around 1400 miles in 12 days raising over £3300 for local charities – with co-driver John Poole.
