Any news on the book peter

[petervanlee]

I have finished it twice, only to find some new people that have given me info and picture's i could not leave out…. I have now tracked the story back to 1958 amazingly and with it an amazing picture of the whole design and engineering team from 1961… It has been a two year trip that started out being only One year……. I had 5,000 press packs and bits on news paper articles and books. That has now muchroomed to 11,000, that to the generosity of the people I interviewed. Peter

wow memories are flooding back to me, the Van shop in Roman Road Bethnal Green E2, forgot all about that shop till now, I am now desperate to find a pic of this mega wheeled transit I knew of from the 80s from north London, I have someone looking for a pic of it that he had. I was into escort vans then and still was till a couple of years ago,

[Vandalism]

[petervanlee]

Need to know more about it really

[Andy P]

it was white, wind turbines on the roof at the back, BIG wolfrace wheels with general grabbers, my mate is saying 6 wheels but I am sure he changed it to 8 wheels I could be wrong on that bit and I remember red air horns on the roof as well. it lived in amhurst park Stamford hill London N16, I am talking about 1980 ish
