Hi there
I am trying to put together a list of all the remaining Beck & Pollitzer vehicles that are in existence outside the Company. I'm particulalry interested in any pre-1960's scammells / Albions or ERF's
If anyone knows of any in existence can you let me know as I'm trying to pull some together for our 150th anniversary.
Thanks
Richard

Re: Beck & Pollitzer vehicles
Don't know if he's still with us but if he is Charles Oliver who was with BP post war and still there in the late 60s would be the man to ask, He lives/lived in Gravesend.
There was a thread on this forum a while back, started by a guy who had found and bought the remains of this old Scammell. The post was by oldmanjim5 in Oct 2010. My pic would have been taken in the Burnam Road yard in the late 60s.

Re: Beck & Pollitzer vehicles
Hi Thanks for the info
I've been in contact with James who owns the scammel and he has kindly offered to bring it into our burnham road yard for our anniversary next month. We are also hoping to bring the ex B&P Foden steam wagon down as well.
I believe Charles Oliver will be coming down as well so I will take the oppoutunity to pick his brains about any other vehicles he knows about.
