Yes Jim, I remember the postcards "Warrier" and Foden`s "Rambler" and "Wanderer" and could have been "HMS Sultan" and of course "Lord Nelson" Montague`s engine she looked nice then, I remember in the 70s when I had the lorries one of the component firms sent me a calendar one Xmas with Lord Nelson on the front and in the back ground was Father talking to some one and I am just out of sight to the side of him, that was 1962 I was 20, Father borrowed an engine from someone there and did the obstacle course and Montague wouldnt give him his prize he said father had been driving an engine since he was 13 and it wouldn't be fair on others, he apologised to Father after though, I have been looking for the calendar at home here but can`t find it anywhere at the moment.
