The David Bletsoe-Brown group is a family owned
business which was founded by the current Managing Director and
Chairman, David Bletsoe-Brown, in 1976 with just one vehicle. Today, it
operates with a fleet of forty lorries from its 2-acre site half a mile
from Junction 7 of the A14 near Kettering. Its speciality is palletised
distribution and the colourful two tone dark blue and light blue fleet
can be seen throughout the UK, with one of its major clients being the
Tesco supermarket chain.
Our 1:76 scale Oxford replica, registered S41 JDP, represents a
curtainside lorry from the fleet decorated in their signature two-tone
colour scheme with a silver roof and carrying a wealth of detail. Note
particularly the intricately printed back doors, the curtainside ties
along the sides of the trailer, the blue fuel tank straps and the roof
visor component which is finished in a tinted transparent red.
