Love your work Mike my Dad drove this very bus after leaving the Royal navy in the 1960s.

Mike Jeffries replied:

Thank you Paul and how I envy your Dad his job, I did drive a few ex-Brum buses in fact I passed my PSV test in 1961,( badgeNo DD 43822) in a ex-Brum Guy of Andys Coaches which had a Chinese gearbox. Many years later in the late eighties I drove a flat screen Bristol VR for Burtons of Brixham on their Kingswear service, as I remember it had no power steering but was lovely to drive.

In deepest Birmingham a Guy "New Look" double-decker crosses Saltley Viaduct on its way to the city. BTC's buses were always well turned out and ultra clean bearing in mind their grimy surroundings..The 56 route started from the Fox and Goose on the Washwood Heath Road and shared a lot of its route with the 14 and 55 routes into Birmingham which meant that one never waited long for a City bound bus.

On the left is the Met ( Metropolitan Carriage and Wagon Company which built railway locos, carrages etc over fifty years for export all over the World ) and in the background an Inner Circle 8 turns at Saltley Gate onto the Alum Rock Road whilst the vast bulk of the Rock cinema is on the horizon.

About Mike Jeffries

COMMISSION A PAINTING FROM MIKE. It is with great regret that I have to inform you that Mike sadly passed away November 2020 aged 81, but I, (his partner) will keep his shop here going and am happy to reply to any emails you might send to his own email address at mike@transportartist.co.uk. Virtually nobody considered the humble lorry worthy of the subject of a painting until Mike made it so. Years of being at the sharp end of long distance HGV driving has given him an insight and knowledge into the industry that enables Mike to depict lorries as they really were in the past and not the idealized view of the less knowledgeable making him the man to paint an original of your favourite commercial vehicle. He is without a doubt THE lorry...
