I AM a retired lorry driver and a friend of mine has just bought an old vehicle (a 1969 Atkinson articulated lorry, registration number GWT 3445) which belonged to John Smith's Magnet Brewery, Tadcaster, and he is trying to restore it to its original condition.

I was wondering if any of your readers might have photos of this vehicle, especially any drivers of John Smith's who could help me regarding its old livery.

If they have, I would appreciate it if they could get in touch with me at the address below.
