Rare Leyland Beaver lorry

The only other Leyland Beaver of this TSC18 model I can ever recall seeing is FGP803 seen here at Winkleigh in spring 1993. It was still there a year later. I wonder if it survives?

The cab was in an extremely poor state as shown by the pronounced lean to the nearside where the corner pillar had almost completey rotted away.

The name signwritten on the cabsides was Sheeran's Amusements.

I recall it was described as a superb runner when it was driven there some years previously.
