ABOUT THE TRUCK – “Guy Invincible Platform Lorry with Fruit Box Load & Shap Clock - W.H.Bowker Ltd. Started in 1919 with his first lorry initially to deliver for his own fruit and vegetable business . Demand for transport led Bowker to expand into general haulage. In 1989 the Company moved from his base at Blackburn up to Preston and operates a modern fleet of 150 trucks and 350 trailers specializing in international haulage”.

ABOUT THE LEYLAND CLOCKS” -- “The idea of clocks advertising Leyland Motors on the main trunk roads was a coup for Leyland. The first clock appeared in 1930 and there are believed to have been seven altogether plus a replica in South Africa. Franco Reflex Signs of London and the mechanism by William Potts and Sons Limited, clockmakers of Leeds, designed the towers. Although some survived in preservation, the whereabouts of the others remain a mystery”. As I mentioned above clocks are made of metal.

I still have all 6 trucks from this beautiful series, but the inventory is running low. Check the special price for the set of all 6 models from the series.

Try to find all 6 models; it is very unlikely that you will succeed, especially at one place.
