The 1951 Morris Dray retired  by Earl Soham Brewery in 1989 was brought out of store in 2001.  (The Brewer recalls It was so slow that if you went to Ipswich you needed a sleeper cab.)  It stood for a while outside the Brewery and there were rumours that Julian was going to "dodge it up" a bit.  After a while the dray disappeared, allegedly to a carpenter (the cab is made from ash skinned with aluminium) to have the driver's door pillar replaced.  It re-appeared at the back of The Station looking sad and vulnerable with a missing driver's door and a slowly flattening offside front tyre.  The Brewer rescued it by trailering it to a secret location somewhere in rural Suffolk.  He is now looking for some form of partnership where the partner gets the dray for 363 days a year and The Brewer gets it for two days to do a Suffolk show.  Interested? Then email The Brewer now!

The lorry is in fact a 1936 design - WWII made things stand still for quite a while - and it would have been sold without any bodywork for a  coachbuilder to finish.
