John Mason International’s Maintenance Manager Pat Reilly and his daughter Victoria recently took the company’s vintage truck on The Cheshire Run: a 90-mile classic commercial vehicle event held every April.

This year there were 82 historic trucks, the oldest being a 1930 Ford Pick Up truck. 

The run started in Lymm and took a scenic route through Cheshire, taking in Delamere Forest and ending in Warrington in the north west of the county. 

Pat said, “It was a great day for the local community, there were many interesting vehicles present including historic fire engines and unique commercial vehicles.”

The John Mason vehicle is a 1960s Leyland Comet, that was previously used as a removal vehicle by the company before being converted to a break-down truck. It was then loaned to a British transport museum and later entrusted to enthusiast care before being re-acquired by John Mason International.

The historic truck is displayed at numerous transport shows and fairs throughout the year.
